Spotify is coming with new features to paying users satisfied. That promises to be the head of business development of the popular muziekstreamingdienst in an interview with Tweakers. The last time made Spotify more and more paid features for free.
The last time was Spotify several features that were previously paid were available for free users, such as the possibility of unlimited and on smartphones to listen. Nevertheless, think Liu that a paid subscription is still worth is. “For example, if your music offline want to save it or on your smartphone itself will determine what you are playing,” said Liu. On smartphones, users of the free version only playlists in shuffle mode playback.
Spotify subscribers pay ten euros per month for a premium account. The free version has ads to cover the costs. Until a few months ago, users could for five euros per month for a subscription with unlimited and without ads could listen, but since the disappearance of the luisterlimiet is that subscription abolished for new users.
Although streaming services like Spotify, Rdio and Google All Access are popular among listeners, are not all artists are equally happy with it. So complain some artists is that the royalties that Spotify pays too low. “We will return to seventy percent of our revenue to the record labels. Complaining artists are a very, very small minority,” says Liu. “In contrast to a lot of artists who are successful on Spotify. That are not only great artists, but also indiebandjes.”
