"Spotify is giving its free users more premium treatment. The audio streaming platform said it will let non-paying users pick and play specific songs. Before this, they could only shuffle through playlists and had limits on the number of skipped songs. Spotify's free users can also now search for specific songs to play and open song links shared on social media. Spotify said it is rolling out the changes globally from Monday."
"However, the free experience still has some limitations. A Spotify spokesperson told TechCrunch that free users will be allotted an "on-demand time," and once they exceed the daily limit, they will have to abide by Spotify's previous limited skips per hour rule. Representatives for Spotify did not respond to a request for comment from Business Insider on how long the "on-demand time" is. The release did not give any updates on whether Spotify's ad experience would change for free users."
Spotify will allow non-paying users to select and play specific songs on demand rather than only shuffling playlists, and free users can now search for songs and open social media song links. The feature rollout begins globally on Monday. Free users will receive a daily on-demand time limit, after which previous hourly skip limits will apply; the length of on-demand time was not disclosed. About 60% of Spotify's monthly active users use the free tier. Spotify reported 696 million monthly active users, 276 million subscribers, revenue of 4.2 billion euros, subscriber growth, and strong stock performance.
