Now You Will Have To Pay For Lyrics On Spotify
Spotify is one of the most popular music streaming apps. Like most of its rivals, it works on a freemium model where users can create an account and get started for free, however, some features like sequential playback and an ad-free experience are paywalled. In a recent development, Spotify has withdrawn another feature from the free tier making ad-supported usage a little worse. The latest addition that has been put behind the Spotify Premium paywall is “song lyrics”.
Numerous users on Reddit have reported that now you need to have a Spotify Premium subscription to see the song lyrics. For all those unaware, a Premium subscription starts at $10.99 ($5.99 for students). Some users claimed that song lyrics aren’t completely unavailable on the free tier. While some say that there’s a monthly limit on lyrics for non-Premium subscribers.
Spotify Puts Song Lyrics Feature Behind Paywall
Spotify’s free tier doesn’t cost anything. However, it contains ads and doesn’t allow users to download or play songs in any order, among other limitations. On the other side, the company also increased the prices of its Premium subscription tiers. Reports claim that the prices are going to get even more expensive this year. Now, the streaming giant is also putting popular features behind a paywall worsening the whole situation.
It means Spotify Freemium is now just a radio app that permanently plays songs on shuffle that can be skipped six times within an hour. It makes YouTube Music’s free tier a better alternative than free Spotify since users can skip songs unlimited times, read song lyrics, and skip ads. Moreover, people are not forced to shuffle their songs like Spotify. More number of users are expected to jump to YouTube’s free tier compared to Spotify. Let’s wait and watch what happens next. Stay tuned!
