Cool, now can we get a cheaper plan that just plays music?
Sorry, best we can do is make a new tier at the same price that only plays music, while we jack up the price of the new Premium Plan to account for ‘rising market costs’!
rising market costs
= “paying right wingers like Joe Rogan to shit out podcasts on our service”
Like him or not, he’s like the most popular journalist in the world now or something.
Perhaps as likely as YouTube Premium separating music access from no ads on videos… I wish. It keeps me locked in.
Hard to beat $10 for unlimited music and podcasts + soon to be audiobooks
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? 
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.
