A press departure regarding Spotify Premium landed in our inboxes on this otherwise standard Tuesday and a straightaway read of the subject line ‘ Spotify Premium Update ’ got our hopes up about a potentialSpoitify HiFilaunch .
Alas that was not the case , but it still brought news of a particularly nice fringe benefit for Spotify Premium users – memory access to 150,000 audiobooks .
The extra welfare , which arrives on October 4 , yield user 15 hours of heed as part of their monthly subscrition . However , believe the intermediate auduobook survive for around ten minute , user will be able to get through around a record book - and - a - one-half per month .
So , if you ’re half means through that second script , Spotify tells us you may pay up £ 9.99 for an extra ten hour to use at your discretion . Still , it ’s better thanthe current audiobook service , which ask a separate purchase for applicable titles .
Listeners will be capable to identify supported titles ( from major publisher like Penguin Random House , HarperCollins , Hachette , Simon & Schuster , Macmillan , and RB Media , and independents ) via a new ‘ admit In Premium ’ badge .
The UK is actually mother a jump on this lineament , along with Australia , while the feature article wo n’t come in to the US or elsewhere until afterward this year .
Spotify reckons 48 % of UK adult mind to audiobooks , with 32 % die back to their favourites for a second time or more . Well , at least that part is going to be you a few sawhorse on top of your Premium subscription .
Still no tidings on therumours of a Supremium tierthat’ll add lossless music to the divine service , albeit at a higher price .
