Today we’re starting an entirely new chapter for our audiobooks offering by making more than 150,000 audiobooks available as part of Spotify Premium subscriptions.
The audiobooks is very limited though. Just 15 hours per month (many books are longer than that) and in the case of duo and family plans, only the master account gets audiobooks.
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.
The GitHub seems to only be for a downloader app that distributes unverified APKs that don’t currently do anything. Removing this thread as a precaution - particularly given recent news of malicious modded APKs.
Usually they’re integrated with server side purchases so an APK hack wouldn’t work with audiobooks. You’d have to use some sort of pirate client that I’m not aware of and may not exist. Good app idea though to pirate audiobooks from torrents to your phone. Kind of like popcorn time.
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.
Hard to beat $10 for unlimited music and podcasts + soon to be audiobooks

You can apparently buy an 10 hour extension if your hours run out.
Depending on how expensive that is, it might still be worth it.

Truly the only subscription I’m happy to pay.
£3 a month if you’re on a family plan!
