Currently, Spotify is offering a deal where customers who are new to Premium can get their first three months for free before paying £9.99 for subsequent months. Upgrading from the free tier to Spotify Premium currently costs £9.99 per month. It should also please artists like Adele, who criticised Spotify for not playing the tracks of her latest album, 30, in the correct order. This will give premium subscribers the option to ignore Spotify’s tendency to shuffle tracks. The streaming service also announced at the start of August that, in the coming few weeks, separate play and shuffle buttons will be added to the top of albums and playlists in the iOS and Android apps. The company describes this Premium feature as “on-demand playback”. You can also play any song you like, at any time – compared to the free tier, when a playlist can be cued up, but you usually cannot pick a specific song to play. Subscribing to Spotify Premium also lets you download any songs, albums and playlists you want to listen to offline. The single biggest difference is how there are no adverts with Spotify Premium, as there are after every few tracks with the free tier. It gives users access to the same massive catalogue of songs as the free tier, but changes a lot when it comes to how those tracks, albums and playlists can be accessed and enjoyed.
