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

We know that discovery happens on Spotify, with nearly two billion discoveries happening on our platform every day. Features like our AI DJ and daylist power those discoveries and bring fans closer to the artists they love. Now we're providing our Spotify Premium subscribers with another tool to fuel discovery and music curation. With AI Playlist in beta, you can effortlessly turn your most creative ideas into playlists.

Starting with users on Android and iOS devices in the United Kingdom and Australia, creating a new playlist with AI Playlist is as simple as typing a unique prompt into the chat. Looking for "an indie folk playlist to give my brain a big warm hug," "relaxing music to tide me over during allergy season," or "a playlist that makes me feel like the main character"? AI Playlist has you covered. Whether you're a beginner or an expert playlist creator, AI Playlist pairs our powerful personalization technology with AI to deliver that perfect musical mix, just for you.

You can use prompts that reference places, animals, activities, movie characters, colors, even emojis. The most successful playlists are generated with prompts that contain a combination of genres, moods, artists, or decades. It's a brand-new tool, and still in beta, so we'll continue to iterate and innovate on the experience. Stay tuned for what's to come!

Get started with AI Playlist:

To find AI Playlist, head to the Spotify mobile app and select "Your Library" at the bottom-right corner of your screen.

• From Your Library, tap the "+" button at the top-right corner of the app and select "AI Playlist."
• Select one of the suggested prompts or type your own. Get creative and be specific! For example, you could try creating "sad music for painting dying flowers" or "tracks for horse riding into the sunset."
• Wait as we do our magic. Spotify will offer some tracks that match the vibe you're going for.
• From there, you can easily manage the selection of songs by previewing and deleting tracks. Have notes? You can revise and refine the playlists you generate by telling AI Playlist what you're looking for (i.e., "more pop" or "less upbeat").
• Tap "Create," and your new playlist will be saved automatically in Your Library.

Just like that, Spotify will help you curate a personalized playlist based on the tracks, artists, and genres we think you'll like. While it's designed to be fun, the tool is still in beta and won't produce results for non-music-related prompts, like current events or specific brands. We also have measures in place around prompts that are offensive – so please prompt responsibly!

At Spotify, we aim to deliver the right piece of music for that exact moment in time. With AI Playlist in beta, we're excited to give Premium subscribers in the U.K. and Australia a new way to discover music. Over the coming months, we look forward to continuing to iterate on this new feature to best serve our listeners.
