Jill 29,606 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Spotify will launch a new super-premium subscription aimed at audio enthusiasts that will cost an extra $6 a month, said three people briefed on the matter, as the Swedish group expands the streaming service. Spotify will charge $18 a month for the new service and debut it later this year after sealing fresh licensing deals with Universal Music and Warner Music to allow their copyrighted songs from artists such as Kendrick Lamar and Taylor Swift to be included in the subscription. Spotify has not announced a fresh deal with Sony Music, the third major record label and home to stars such as Beyoncé. The new subscription might not come until the autumn, said one person familiar with the discussions. The subscription, called “Music Pro”, will offer three main features to entice sign-ups: higher-quality audio; early access to concert tickets; and increased functionality such as a “DJ” option for streaming. The ticketing feature is part of a push by the music industry to capitalise on “superfans” — the listeners who regularly buy merchandise and flock to concerts for their favourite stars.

bambi96 1,555 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 If you have an iPhone/Airpods, it makes sense to use Apple Music instead of Spotify. It's cheaper and on paper, the music quality is superior. 9 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's cheaper and on paper, the music quality is superior. Apple Music also pays out to artists better and has much more content than Spotify. It's such a no-brainer, I switched two years ago and I'll never go back to Spotify. Edited February 15 by Cameltoe Chariot 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the 16 Pro and use AM with EarPods and my non-Apple headphones. I noticed the huge quality gap when I first used AM on PC. Spotify is pure noise and you can tell just by playing music with the phone or PC speakers. Drop it 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chromattica 382 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 I find Spotify UX/UI so terrible... The push on moving content everywhere is so overload for me, I find I can't navigate the app easily. Don't even get me started on podcasts and audio books, and when playing a song, a video plays instead of just showing the artwork... it all feels too over-designed and overstimulating. Apple Music is a far and above superior user experience imo. 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
