I can't use Audiobooks on my Family plan.

[Sammmm249]

Hi,

I'm currently on a Family Premium plan. I wish to access Audiobooks, but I can't.

I did some research, and apparently only Plan Managers can use Audiobooks.

Why is this? And will this perhaps change in the future?

Thanks,

-Sam

Hey @Sammmm249,

Thanks for coming to the Community.

Right now, Audiobooks in Premium is available only on select plans and is limited to plan managers.

This means if you joined a Duo or Family plan as a member you won’t have access to the free listening time, but this is something that will be explored in the future to allow Family and Duo users to have more flexibility from their audiobooks access 🙂

For more info, you can also visit the following Newsroom article: https://newsroom.spotify.com/2023-10-03/audiobooks-included-in-spotify-premium/.

Hope this clears things up!

Disappointing that Spotify is doing this.  A family premium plan and only the plan manager has access??  So dumb and what genius at Spotify came up with that great idea??  They should be fired.  Also, premium plan managers or single plan premium are only allowed 15 hours of listening time per month???  I bet the same person who came up with the plan manager only had this idea too!  Spotify, listening to your customers!  Just charge a small additional price so everyone can listen to audiobooks with ZERO limits!!!
