CANCEL SPOTIFY ANDROID
Spotify announced at the start of August that, in the coming few weeks, separate play and shuffle buttons will be added to the top of albums and playlists in the iOS and Android apps, giving premium subscribers the option to ignore Spotify’s tendency to shuffle tracks. You also can’t download music as a non-paying customer, the audio quality isn’t as high as with the premium tier, and you can only listen abroad for 14 days. While the 82 million-track music catalogue is available in full, adverts play after every few songs, and on mobile apps you can’t pick whatever song you like instead, choosing a specific song to play is only available within specific playlists. Not bad for a company that only arrived in 2006, five years after Apple introduced iTunes and the first iPod.Īlthough Spotify can be enjoyed for free, there are quite a few restrictions in place. More than 420 million people listen to music and podcasts through Spotify at least once a month, and the Swedish company now has more than 180 million subscribers paying for its premium subscription across 183 markets.Īll of those people listened to just over 100 billion hours of music in 2021, making Spotify the world’s biggest music streaming service, with a 31 per cent share of the market.
