My Question or Issue

I’m on a family plan as a member (not the plan manager), so I understand I’m not eligible for the 15 hours of free audiobook listening. I do, however, occasionally like to purchase individual audiobooks.

When I tried to purchase one today, I was prompted to request access from the plan manager and couldn’t complete the purchase. After checking, I saw there’s now an option for plan members to add the 15-hour audiobook feature, but that’s more than I need. I only buy an audiobook from time to time.

Is there a way to allow plan members to purchase individual titles without enabling the full audiobook listening add-on? It would make occasional purchases much simpler and avoid needing to involve the plan manager every time.

Hey, welcome to the Community Spotify. How are you?

 

So, it turns out that the audiobooks included in the Premium catalog aren't available for one-time purchases, so the only way to do so would be to request a top-up from your plan manager.

 

Keep me posted if I can help further.
