Spotify has achieved what no normal entity could. Go them for having a relatively decent free to play with, I'm assuming, a good pay to play model as well.

- JTon 10y agoIn Canada, one of the major wireless providers offers Spotify premium accounts bundled in with mid and high tier data lines (i.e. 2 years of Spotify premium "for free"). So I wonder what other providers around the world do this, and how many of the 40mm are part of this group.

- vasco 10y agoVodafone does this in Portugal.
- farslan 10y agoSame in Turkey as well. They have a partnership with Vodafone Turkey
- nicolas_t 10y agoI have accounts on both Deezer and Spotify because of bundled accounts on wireless providers. So far I prefer Spotify but only because of the Discover Weekly feature.

- k-mcgrady 10y agoFree to play won't be around long imo. Since Spotify first launched for me in 2009 the free offering has got progressively worse. The second the labels can drop freemium they will and I don't think we're too far away from that.
- dyeje 10y agoHow has the free offering gotten worse?
- k-mcgrady 10y agoI haven't used Spotify free in a long time but originally the only difference between free and premium was ads and offline mode. AFAIK there are many more limits on free now.
- fons 10y agoWhat limits? The only one I know of is random playback on mobile (getting the free tier on mobile, random or not, was a huge milestone for Spotify)
