Spotify Introduces Spotify “Unlimited” and “Open”

Spotify, the music streaming service I’m in love with, has launched two new subscription plans today: Unlimited and Open.

While we’re still waiting to have Spotify available in the US, people living in countries where Spotify is unavailable has now the chance to try out the service for free without invites.

“Open offers new Spotify users the chance to try out the service without the need for an invite, giving access to millions of tracks for up to 20 hours every month - that’s equivalent to listening to 25 albums or 300 tracks EVERY month!”

Not too much but at least it’s something, it’s a start. As for Spotify Unlimited, it’s something in between the Free and Premium subscriptions, which basically offers enhanced sound quality and no ads but doesn’t come with all the offline playback options. At 5 Euros per month, it’s a great deal.

You can check out all the available subscriptions here. And seriously, find a way to use Spotify. It’s getting better every month.
