Cool, now can we get a cheaper plan that just plays music?

    Sorry, best we can do is make a new tier at the same price that only plays music, while we jack up the price of the new Premium Plan to account for 'rising market costs'!

    rising market costs

    = "paying right wingers like Joe Rogan to shit out podcasts on our service"

    Like him or not, he's like the most popular journalist in the world now or something.

    Is JRE considered news? This is not a bad faith question, I just never thought it was news

    To be fair spotify bleads money, because the big music labels are sucking most of the money out of spotify.

    Podcasts and stuff are their way of trying to get out of that uncomfortable situation, because they own the rights of the stuff produced via their platform.

    Hard to beat $10 for unlimited music and podcasts + soon to be audiobooks

    That’s interesting I didn’t know it was limited to the main account. I’m a big audiobook listener, and the idea of being able to listen to something but then move on to something else is appealing. I pay for one credit on Audible every month but I have a lot of books, that after getting into them for a couple hours I realize they’re not really for me. That’s a lot of wasted money.  I wonder if the Spotify is going to give you the option to buy the book?

    It's understandable why they are doing this. Apparently the company has never ever made any profits, and since the main 3 record labels are demanding 70% of the revenue from Spotify, they can't do anything to change that revenue split to 50-50 instead as an example.

    The GitHub seems to only be for a downloader app that distributes unverified APKs that don't currently do anything. Removing this thread as a precaution - particularly given recent news of malicious modded APKs.

    Usually they're integrated with server side purchases so an APK hack wouldn't work with audiobooks. You'd have to use some sort of pirate client that I'm not aware of and may not exist. Good app idea though to pirate audiobooks from torrents to your phone. Kind of like popcorn time.
