Audiobook Will Not Let Me Purchase It

I'm a student in college and found my textbook as an audiobook on Spotify, which is awesome, however, I can't buy it. It just prompts me to request Audiobooks+ from the Spotify family leader which I really don't want, I barely ever use audiobooks. The audiobook is Biology 2e, it has a gray cover, if that helps at all. Thanks.

Hey @lichri207,

Thank you for reaching out to the Community and welcome.

In a Premium Family plan, only the plan manager has access to the audiobook listening time that comes with the plan. Bear in mind that the plan manager is unable to share their allotted listening time with other members of the plan as mentioned in this article.

Nevertheless, as you mentioned before, the plan manager has the option to buy extra audiobook listening time for the plan members. So if you want to listen to that specific audiobook, the only available option is to request the Audiobooks+ access to the owner in order to have the listening time added to your own account. Remember that the plan manager can cancel Audiobooks+ at any time without canceling the main Premium Family plan if you don't use it that much.

Hope this clarifies things a bit. If anything else comes up, the Community will be here for you.
