Spotify, which holds an important position among online music platforms, continues to introduce various innovations every day. This time, the platform is taking a step to transition its users to a paid subscription system. According to emerging reports, Spotify is imposing several restrictions on free users. Here are the details!
Free users won’t be able to use the Smart Shuffle feature!
Spotify, one of the most widely used platforms in the music and podcast industry, offers both paid and free usage. However, as with all good things, there is an end to free usage. According to reports, the platform will introduce certain limitations for free users.

Spotify, aiming to strengthen its financial position even further, is implementing these restrictions to move more people towards paid subscriptions. According to these restrictions, free platform users will soon be unable to perform functions such as song replay, playing any song they want, and customizing playlist orders.
Spotify normally offers smart shuffle as the default playback method for free users. However, with Smart Shuffle, it presents songs outside the playlist based on the user’s listening habits. With the new arrangement, this option will only be available to Premium users.
Spotify, with the intention of encouraging users to switch to Premium by limiting free features, has started to enforce these restrictions. This change was initially implemented in India.

Meanwhile, Spotify is in the process of preparing a new package for Premium users, which is expected to be called ‘Superpremium.’ This platform will bring many innovations, including smart playlists and features like Soundcheck to help users discover music they like.
