No longer considered, Spotify is by far the world’s most widely used subscription music service. Every day, millions of people log into the service’s Mac and PC apps to create playlists and stream from its massive cache of music. While Spotify’s millions of users are away from home, they log into the service’s iPhone and Android apps to see what’s new in the music community.
The problem is, primarily Spotify is used by most as a free music streaming service with curated playlists. That’s great for that, but those who want to get rid of the service’s ads should sign up for Spotify Premium, a monthly subscription service that works with the app to provide a better listening experience. Along with ad-free music streaming, Spotify Premium also allows iPhone and iPad users to download entire playlists to their mobile devices. This feature is perfect for long plane rides or commutes that don’t always offer a reliable mobile data connection.
