Spotify: Download music and listen to music for free

One of the ways to listen to music for free via the internet is the Spotify program. In this manual you can read everything about this free music service that was founded in Sweden but can now be used in many European countries to listen to free music on the internet.

Paid and free music listening

In addition to a free version, Spotify also offers paid music listening subscriptions. With the paid version of Spotify, you can listen to more music in higher quality. In addition, the paid version of Spotify can also be used to listen to music on your mobile phone. Spotify does not work with MP3 files. The software uses a proprietary file format that is not similar to the MP3 files you download on the Internet.

Spotify Free

The free version of Spotify is called 'Spotify Free'. With this free subscription, you as a user can listen to 20 hours of music every month for free. Each week, 5 hours of listening credit will be added to your account from this subscription. After a period of 6 months, you will not be able to listen to 20 hours but only 10 hours of free music per month. In addition, you can only listen to each song 5 times.

In addition, the free version of Spotify includes advertising breaks. This is of course a shame, but the makers of Spotify still want to earn their money with the free music they offer via the internet. In addition, artists and record companies also want to be paid.

If you want to give Spotify a try for free, you can register at this link. After registration, it is important to download the Spotify music player. With this software program, Spotify streams the music to your computer, after which you can play it. You still have to enter your password and username after installing the program.
