Spotify offers both paid and free subscription systems. Users can use the application with 'certain restrictions' if they wish. However, it seems this was not enough for Spotify, as free users will soon be unable to access features such as repeating songs, rewinding, playing specific songs, or reordering playlists.
DECISION THAT WILL ANNOY FREE USERS IS BEING TESTED
Spotify has been working for some time to encourage more users to switch to a 'paid subscription.' In addition to the ads that appear after every song for free subscribers, which state something to the effect of 'your songs won't be interrupted like this with a premium membership,' the company is also restricting features that were normally offered.
In this way, Spotify aims to convert people who use the application for free into premium members.
The new decision to remove core features for the application will first begin in India. It is expected to spread to other countries afterward.
