Spotify hope to draw in audiobook lovers beyond music fans with a new offering but is it a swing and a miss for the world’s top streamer?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Spotify is the number one music streaming platform in the world, accounting for 20% of the global recorded record industry revenues<\/a>. But, they’ve been looking to expand. First with podcasts and now with a huge push into the world of audiobooks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last year, Spotify added 15 hours of audiobook listening as a Premium subscriber benefit<\/a> at no extra cost. The fresh audiobook engagement created by this addition was so significant that it has since seen the US audiobook industry grow<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To give audiobooks even more chance to shine on their platform, Spotify have launched a new subscription offering. The Audiobooks Access Tier offers 15 hours of listening to over 200,000 titles across their service. The offering costs $9.99 a month. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Music and podcasts will be available to these subscribers, but not on a Premium level – meaning ads will play between podcasts and their music queue. At just a dollar cheaper than a Spotify Premium account which includes ad-free music, offline listening, and<\/strong> 15 hours of audiobook listening, it’s difficult to see why users might choose the audiobook tier unless they really aren’t interested in music and want to save that extra dollar a month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spotify promise that they “will continue to invest in giving our listeners more options to cater to their unique needs”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discover all you need to know about audiobooks on Spotify from their dedicated page here<\/a>. It shows what’s on offer within Premium, Audiobook Access, and for outright purchases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
