Premium Vs. Unlimited Mobile

[Sneakycactus]

I know there has been a ton of posts about this but I cannot find something answering the specific question of how Premium and Unlimited are different on a mobile device.

1. Can I still listen to any song on spotify without having to go through the radio?

2. Will I have the ability to retain the playlists that I have already made trough premium?

3. Is the difference between premium and unlimited worth the extra $5 a month?

Thanks so much yall!

Hi @Sneakycactus! 

I'd love to help you out with your questions...

1. With Unlimited, you can listen to any song you want on the desktop. With Premium, you can listen to any song you want on both the desktop and mobile devices.
2. When you lose Spotify Premium, you get to keep all of your playlists. Their availability of being offline will not be retained.
3. The difference is most certainly worth it! If you're interested in using Spotify as your primary listening experience on mobile devices, you have to be a subscriber to Spotify Premium. Otherwise, Spotify Unlimited will undoubtedly give you these awesome benefits but is only limited to the desktop version of Spotify.

I hope these answer your questions! If you've got anymore or any follow-up questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Hey there. Welcome to the forums!

1. Yes you can, but limited to playlist and shuffle. Also when you listen music on Unlimited on Phone, Free service is uded. If you do not mind ads on your Desktop, you can change to Free service as it is actually now unlimit (no play limits and works also on phone).

2. You can listen all playlists, but you can't select track by tack, playlists are shuffled, have skip limits in hour and are fillfulled with recommended content.

3. With Premium you get no ads on mobile/tablet. Also you can use better 320 kbps sound and listen Premium only music content and if course offline mode 🙂

Happy Spotifying!

According to https://www.spotify.com/us/account/subscription/cancel/ I will get Ads between songs if I cancel unlimited, but I get ads WITH unlimited as well. Perhaps that text should be updated?

That error has been reported and is awaiting to be fixed @mskogly . 😉

What bugs me about unlimited is that it is giving me ads on my Nexus 7" tablet, despite the fact that I'm using it in my own home via my home wifi.

If I boot-up my laptop and use that, I don't get the ads.

My Nexus doesn't have a 3G card and I don't take it out of the house, so annoying that Spotify assumes it is 'mobile'. Anybody know of a way for me to indicate that this isn't a mobile device?

You will always the same as a free user on tablet as unlimited only adds benefits to a PC, sorry. This chart shows the differences.
