Spotify Free not refreshing 10 hour playtime!

[agolden847]

Hi there,

I'm currently having an issue with my spotify, in that I used up my 10 hours allowance last month, about a week ago. But now it's a new month the 10 hours hasn't refreshed or reloaded, meaning I'm still unable to use Spotify. Any ideas why? Thanks in advance!

Sorry for the annoying bump, but any suggestions?

Generally the time limit is allocated in two and a half hour chunks per week, up to 10 hours per month. This system is entirely automated so you should get some more time allocated to you shortly!

What do you mean by "Generally" ??
Where can we find EXACT facts about this ?

I think it´s **bleep** that you only have 10 hours of playtime each month when you don´t pay for Spotify!!!! It`s SO annoying!!!! I don´t wanna pay for Spotify, so i have deleted it!!! I am done with that timelimit!!!!!!!!!

When you make Spotify 100% free!!!... WITHOUT that F.... timelimit!!! Sent me an email!!!!

The thing is, Spotify is not free, the artists and labels still need to be paid even on the free version. 

Sadly, the time restrictions are enforced by the labels, if Spotify had their way music would be unlimited for everyone.

Thats rubbish, they give us bucketloads of advertising to pay for the music we listen to, the 10 hour time limit is completely bogus, spotify want a *Bleep* TON of money, same as ANYONE else who has made and runs an incredibly good and successful entrepreneurial venture.

Spotify free should play the ads, get rid of the time limit, the only reason i use it is for music I cant find else where, and they screwed it up.

Spotify are in business to make money I guess you could see it that way.

Personally, I think 10 hours a month of free music (even with the adverts) is amazingly generous. Spotify still have to pay the rights holders regardless if the user is on a free or paid account. As I said before, the time limits have been stressed time and time again by Spotify to be down to the record labels and not Spotify, so really there isn't much they can do.
