    Cool, now can we get a cheaper plan that just plays music?

      Perhaps as likely as YouTube Premium separating music access from no ads on videos… I wish. It keeps me locked in.

        They had that YouTube Premium Lite tier in a few regions, which was basically that. But Google just killed it.

          That’s interesting I didn’t know it was limited to the main account. I’m a big audiobook listener, and the idea of being able to listen to something but then move on to something else is appealing. I pay for one credit on Audible every month but I have a lot of books, that after getting into them for a couple hours I realize they’re not really for me. That’s a lot of wasted money.  I wonder if the Spotify is going to give you the option to buy the book?

              But this is not released yet, right? I went and picked a couple audiobooks to listen them to them, but it comes back that I have to go into Spotify on the web and buy them and when I go there, I literally have to buy them there’s no listening to X hours, etc.

      It’s understandable why they are doing this. Apparently the company has never ever made any profits, and since the main 3 record labels are demanding 70% of the revenue from Spotify, they can’t do anything to change that revenue split to 50-50 instead as an example.
