Hey @armstrong1974,
The promo does not include the family plan. It's a monthly payment, after the promo ends. With a premium account you can download music to 3 of your devices for offline use.
Hope it helps. 🙂

In case you still haven't listened to or heard about Afropop/Afrobeat; the new sound gradually taking over the world of music, let me reintroduce it once again. Afropop music is a sound and a movement, music and a state of mind. It's the joyous awakening of a continent from a colonial nightmare and the crushing realization that the nightmare isn't over yet, anguish and happiness whipped together with traditional drums, cheap guitars, and even cheaper amps. From early in the 21st century, a new type of sound, originating in West Africa, has become increasingly prominent in African popular music [Afropop] .This sound was initially referred to simply as 'Naija music' after the common slang term for Nigeria, but has become known as Afrobeats. This name echo's Afrobeat, the 1970s fusion of jazz and traditional Ghanaian and Nigerian music which is an important influence. The Afrobeat is different and special; an interesting mixture of traditional Nigerian Music and highlife, Hip Hop ,Dancehall , American funk music among many other different styles of music.

Spotify, what about offering something like "Recommended Playlists" based on songs in the current playlist. This would be similar to what you're currently offering in terms of "Recommended Songs" at the bottom of a playlist. This seems like such a no brainder idea to get people in touch with one another who have very similar interests in music.
