The music streaming service is adding a subscription to Showtime to its Spotify Premium for Students plan, which already includes ad-free music and Hulu (the limited-commercials version) for $4.99. Spotify is giving free members more control over the music they want to listen to, likely an effort to maintain its lead over Apple Music. Including new playlists, better music recommendations.
The music and podcasts you love on the world’s most popular audio-streaming subscription service. On any device. Anytime. Anywhere.
If that sounds good, this is the perfect time to join the 100 million-plus people who’ve subscribed to Spotify Premium. Beginning August 22,*eligible users will receive the first three months on us for free when they sign up for Spotify Premium.** You’ll unlock a world of on-demand access to millions of hours of audio content—no matter when you sign up, winter, spring, summer, or fall.

- That’s right, no audio ads between songs. ‘Nuff said.
2. Download music and podcasts to your heart’s desire.
- Download your favorite songs, playlists, and podcasts to play whenever, wherever you want, without chewing up or even using your mobile data. This means that if you’re up in the air or off the grid, you’ll be able to take your favorite music and podcasts with you.
3. Play any song, any playlist, any podcast, any time, anywhere.
- You have the power to play 50 million tracks of ad-free music, whether you queue up your favorite songs one at a time or save them in as many playlists as you want—both on desktop and mobile. Plus, take your pick from among the 450,000 podcasts available.
4. Easily toggle between any device.
- With just a tap, you can switch from streaming on your headphones to your home speaker and get a dance party going. Premium works on every Bluetooth-enabled audio system in cars via Android Auto and CarPlay, as well as every smart speaker—even from afar.
5. Skip the songs you don’t like and repeat the ones you want to sing along with.
- With Premium, you are the DJ. Plus, when you tap the heart icon to like a song on your favorite songs and albums, Spotify puts them into a “Liked Songs” playlist that’s automatically downloaded to your phone and pinned to the top of the Playlists section of Your Library.
