Student Premium Plan Should Include Audiobook Access

[Arethes]

Hello, everyone! Earlier today I reached out to Spotify on this issue, and thought I would also share part of my email on here to see if it gained any traction or not.

As I stated in my email to them, I am a huge fan of Spotify and use it for hours every day, but I was keenly disappointed when I first signed up for Student Premium to discover that free audiobook access was unavailable to me. Logically it just didn't make sense to me that we students would be given access to Hulu but not to the vast catalog of audiobooks (which I would argue is a far more enriching option for students than access to a streaming service). If our main goal in this particular stage of life is to learn, I cannot think of a better way to foster that than through good literature. Furthermore, in the busyness of life juggling school and often a part-time job or two, audiobooks are often the most efficient option for students like me who in all probability may not have much time to sit down and read a physical book. In light of these points, and especially considering the recent price increases, I am proposing that free audiobook access be included in the Student Premium plan. To fully enjoy a "Premium" experience as a college student, I think it seems most appropriate that we receive the same benefits that are provided to other Premium subscribers!
