Spotify is making use of new restrictions on customers who hearken to music on the streaming service’s free plan in India. The firm has began to put limits on how customers on the free plan can play tracks, together with the power to decide on the order through which songs are performed on the streaming platform. The transfer is a part of the Swedish firm’s try to show its giant userbase within the firm that’s presently on the ad-supported free tier to paying subscribers.

As a part of a latest replace (through Music Ally) that rolled out earlier this week, Spotify has begun to limit how customers on the free plan will be capable to entry music through the platform. Users will be unable to show off the “Smart Shuffle” playlist choice, play songs in any order, or use the normal shuffle choice with out a Spotify Premium subscription. 

In addition to the restrictions positioned on the monitor order, Spotify may even stop customers from “scrubbing” tracks. This signifies that as soon as a tune has began to play, customers will not be capable to return to a selected a part of the monitor — or faucet the again button to go to the beginning of the monitor. They may even want a Premium subscription to play a tune on repeat.

These new restrictions seem to have rolled out to customers broadly over the week, with customers complaining in regards to the change on X (previously often called Twitter) and commenting on the firm’s Instagram posts. Gadgets 360 was in a position to affirm that the restrictions have been enabled on Spotify for Android after updating to the newest model.

As per the Music Ally report, India is in Spotify’s listing of prime 5 nations — with regard to month-to-month lively customers. While the proportion of Indian customers who pay for a Premium subscription is reportedly larger than different areas, the nation will not be one of the crucial worthwhile areas for Spotify.

In India, customers can buy robotically renewing Spotify Premium plans beginning at Rs. 119, or go for pay as you go plans as a substitute that begin at Rs. 129. The former is barely less expensive on a month-to-month foundation, whereas the annual pay as you go Premium subscription presents a substantial low cost — at Rs. 1,189 — in comparison with the free plan, which might value Rs. 1,428. Spotify additionally presents smaller plans that begin at Rs. 7 per day, known as Spotify Premium Mini — this plan limits the advantages of the subscription to the cell apps.
