If you subscribe Spotify Premium, you'll get 320 kbps which is 'high quality' on desktop and 'extreme quality' on mobile.įor better understanding, the following image shows clearly the differences between these two versions of Spotify. Spotify Free provides 96 kbps as the standard bitrate for mobile, then jumps to 160 kbps for desktop and web player 'standard quality' and 'high quality' on mobile. YouTube Music Premium offers a months free trial, and Spotify allows. Another benefit is a Premium subscription allows you to download up to 3,333 tracks on up to three devices for offline listening. For those that want to upgrade to a Premium account, both platforms offer free trials. Furthermore, you can enjoy whatever track you want to listen via any Spotify interface (desktop, web or app). Upgrading to Spotify Premium will remove all adverts so you can listen the music without any interruption. You can use the desktop and web interfaces, but the mobile app will only let you listen on shuffle mode or pre-made playlists. Every few tracks you play, you will be forced to be interrupted by one or two short adverts, which will also break your pleasure that you get from the music. Good news is, you have a one-month free trial to try Spotify Premium before you decide to subscribe it. If you subscribe to Premium, then it will cost $9.99 per month. Of course you will lose some rights that Premium subscribers have, instead. Spotify Free, like its name, is free for everyone. Spotify Premium is a paid subscription service that costs 9.99 a month and gives you full access to all of the app’s features. The price must be the most obvious difference.
