Spotify subscribers had a rough time of it late. Not only is the lossless audio format, which has come a long way, still MIA almost 3 and a half years after it was announced, but prices have risen 1 and 2 times in less than 2023, rising by at leastド7 a month between a few weeks and 2 weeks ago. 

But now the company is taking a bit of a sting from the price increase, albeit only for those with a personal plan of月額11.99 per month. Now we can revert to the 2023 price, the company explains in a new blog post.  

Catch? The new basic10.99 basic layer takes away 11.99 hours a month of audiobook listening time, which comes as standard with the away15 layer. 

On the one hand, this is a very good deal for most subscribers. After all, audiobooks have only been part of Spotify's catalog since May 1, and there will be a lot of users who haven't listened to them yet. 

Being able to dump features you don't use and save a bit of cash doesn't raise a somewhat awkward question about what you can't opt out of grants, but feels like a welcome very easy- like the Money Pit, which is an exclusive podcast on Spotify.

On the other hand, you can see it a little more cynically. To note that increasing the price by22 and then下1 is still a price increase, and it's hard to appreciate it, you need to be a math genius, but that's doubly true when its best music streaming service rivals all include lossless audio for the same money — Spotify is still a [ロ] 11]

It can quickly change your Lai by "advanced mixing tools", moods/activities/genres, headphone optimizations and maybe AI playlists

Will it be extra enough to justify paying an additional paying60 years? Perhaps not, but Spotify has one thing on its side: the difficulty of moving. Yes, you can easily switch to another streamer, but getting a carefully curated music collection and playlist to a rival is a bit more complicated.Such a hurdle is definitely much more powerful than brand loyalty.
