Global Premium users can see at a glance whether a podcast they are about to play is a new one, or one that they’ve already started. New episodes will have a blue dot accompanying their listings, and episodes that have already been started will show a progress bar to show how much of the episode has already been listened to. Global premium users will also be able to receive personalized “discovery-oriented” recommendations from the Home hub.
Spotify adds some features to its iOS-Android home screen
Wrapping up the new features, Spotify states, “We believe that together, these updates will improve accessibility of both podcast and music content across mobile for your users. We’ll continue to adapt and evolve our platform to meet the needs of our users, ultimately providing the best possible audio experience for our listeners around the world.”
Spotify offers a free tier of service that is backed by ads. It also has a premium tier that allows users to download music and listen to it anywhere even if there is no internet service around. Premium members can also play any song, even on mobile, and they get unlimited skips.
You can try the premium tier of Spotify for one month free. After that time period passes, an Individual subscription will cost you $7.99 per month. For $12.99 per month, two people living under the same roof can share a Duo subscription. A Family Plan, priced at $14.99 monthly, covers up to six family members living under the same roof. And a Student subscription is priced at only $4.99 per month.
