Spotify Announce Free Service Changes

Spotify have announced some changes to their current open plan, which will restrict the amount of free music users can listen to.

New Spotify users will be able to enjoy our unrivalled free service as of today for the first 6 months.

As of May 1st, any user who signed up to the free service on or before November 1st 2010 will be able to play each track for free up to a total of 5 times. Users who signed up after the beginning of November will see these changes applied 6 months after the time they set up their Spotify account.

Additionally, total listening time for free users will be limited to 10 hours per month after the first 6 months. That’s equivalent to around 200 tracks or 20 albums.
