The cutout is coming in Spotify: The popular European online music service has told record companies that it will cut access to users who do not have a paid subscription.
Spotify allows users to listen on streaming'(that is, online without downloading) 10 million songs, interrupted by advertising, on its free service SpotifyOpen. Listening time, which is about 20 hours a month, will be reduced.
The paid subscription packages offer more music and are also available for the mobile phone. Therefore, there is an attempt to convert non-paying users into Spotify Premium or Spotify Unlimited subscribers, as the company tries to cover the costs of their licenses with record companies.
