Spotify news, updates and feature guides
Every change that matters to a listener: what Premium costs, how the web player and login behave, where lossless audio works, how offline downloads are counted and what the spoken-word catalogue contains.
Spotify Premium Price 2026: Individual, Duo, Family and Student
Individual is $12.99, Duo $18.99, Family $21.99 and Student $6.99 after the January 2026 increase. Here is what each Spotify plan actually includes.
Spotify Web Player and Login: How to Listen in a Browser
open.spotify.com runs the whole service without an install. Here is how sign-in works, what the browser cannot do, and how to avoid the fake login pages.
Spotify Download for Windows, macOS, Android and iOS
Version numbers, file sizes and system requirements for every Spotify app, plus the three-step install that gets you playing in under two minutes.
Spotify Free in 2026: What You Get Without Paying
On-demand playback arrived in September 2025, so the gap between free and paid is narrower than most people assume. Here is exactly what is left out.
Spotify Lossless Audio: 24-bit FLAC, Devices and Real Limits
Lossless arrived in September 2025 at no extra cost. Whether you can hear it depends on four links in the chain, and the browser is not one of them.
Spotify Offline Downloads: Limits, Storage and Fixes
Five devices, 10,000 tracks each, and a 30-day licence check that catches everyone out. Here is how Spotify downloads really behave.
Spotify Podcasts and Audiobooks: 7 Million Shows, 700,000 Books
Spotify is no longer a music app with podcasts bolted on. Seven million shows and roughly 700,000 audiobooks sit behind the same play button.
