About

Spotify is a Swedish music streaming service used by over 600 million people globally. It offers 100 million+ songs and 5 million+ podcasts. The free tier lets you listen with ads and shuffle play; Premium ($9.99/mo) removes ads, enables offline downloads, high-quality audio (320 kbps), and on-demand track selection. Unique features like AI DJ, Discover Weekly, and the annual Spotify Wrapped have made it synonymous with music discovery.
