Spotify is a new way to listen to music
Any track you like, any time you like. Just search for it in Spotify, then play it. Any artist, any album, any genre - all available instantly. With Spotify, there are no limits to the amount of music you could listen to.
Think of Spotify as your new music collection. Your library. Only this time your collection is vast: over 13 million tracks and counting. You can create as many playlists as you like from this collection. And because the music plays live, there's no need to wait for downloads and no big dent in your device's storage.
How much does Spotify cost?
Spotify can be free with some limitations or it can be paid. The free version allows access to the entire Spotify library but you can only play music in shuffle, skip up to six times per hour, and there is no offline mode.
The first paid tier is the Individual Plan which costs $9.99 per month and is fully featured. This includes offline mode, no ads and on-demand playback. There is also the Duo plan for $12.99 (two users) and the Family Plan for $15.99 which allows up to 6 accounts with Spotify Kids.
Can I download a song from Spotify?
Spotify allows songs to be downloaded for offline listening within the app only in paid plans. Songs cannot be transferred outside of Spotify. To download music to your device, add songs to a playlist and the option will become available.
What are some Spotify alternatives?
There are few Spotify alternatives. The most relevant are Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Deezer, Tidal, and Soundcloud.
How many songs does the Spotify catalog have?
Spotify currently has over 80 million tracks and about 4.7 million podcast episodes. It's currently the largest streaming audio service.
Music to share
Thanks to Spotify, it's now easier than ever to share music. You're free to share everything you listen to on Spotify with your friends - tracks, playlists, the lot. Just send them a link to a track or playlist and they can listen instantly. If you like, you can also collaborate on shared playlists. Social music made simple.
Thank you for the music
Having instant access to all this music is a wonderful thing, but what about the artists and musicians who make it? We're big believers in rewarding their creativity. That's why we came up with a way to fairly compensate them for the music featured on Spotify. If they stop, the music stops. To us, it's a no-brainer.
What's New
Discovering music should feel effortless and fun. That's why Spotify continuously innovates to bring our users features and tools for seamless discovery, intuitive playlist curation, and a uniquely personal listening experience.
Starting today, we're gradually rolling out a new suite of features and tests that put you in the driver's seat and offer you more control over your listening and discovery. Our latest updates give you even more tools to curate playlists, refine your recommendations, and shape your music journey.
Optimize your listening sessions
Good news for Premium users: Queue, those three lines at the bottom of your Now Playing view, just got an upgrade. The new design is easier to use and includes controls like Shuffle, Smart Shuffle, Repeat, and Sleep Timer. Plus, Premium users will also start seeing which songs Spotify recommends after your queued-up tracks end, so you can decide what makes it into your queue. Prefer to stick with your own picks during your listening sessions? You can easily switch Autoplay and Smart Shuffle off in your settings for full control.
We're also making it easier to shape your musical journey with an updated Hide button and the new Snooze feature. Hear a track that just doesn't fit the vibe? The refreshed Hide button is now more intuitive, and when you tap it, the track will be hidden from that playlist across all devices, so we won't play it again in that playlist. And if you need more of a break from a song, keep an eye out for our new 30-day Snooze feature. This option allows you to temporarily remove a track from your recommendations, so you can keep things fresh while leaving the door open for a future reunion. We're starting to test this for Premium users and are planning to bring it to more listeners soon.
Customize your playlist listening experience
We're introducing new mobile playlist management tools that will help you customize your creations. Now, at the top of all your playlists, you'll find easy access to Add, Sort, and Edit to build your track list, change your playlist title, create custom cover art, and perfectly sequence each song.
If you're always adding to your Liked Songs, there's good news: listeners in Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa, the U.K., and the United States can now use this tracklist to build playlists. Try it out by filtering by genre and tapping "turn into a playlist."
Curate and collaborate with ease
Whether you're looking to dive deeper into the music you love or discover your next favorite artist, we wanted to simplify access to our music-curation tools. Now, by tapping the Create button "+" at the bottom-right side of your mobile app, you'll be able to easily create your playlist, collaborate with friends, and join a Blend. If you're a mobile Premium user in a supported market, the Create button will also provide quick access to Jam for real-time listening with friends, and AI Playlist, where you can turn your most creative ideas into playlists. And with our recent expansion of AI Playlist to more markets, even more listeners can bring their creativity to the next level.
Looking for Your Library to access all your personalized content and creations? It's still there, we just moved it slightly. On mobile, you'll see it as the third option at the bottom of your app.
