Spotify is testing on-demand access to some playlists for free users

Spotify is currently testing some updates and new features. Music Ally has been tipped off by an Android user based in the UK about a specific test which focuses on functionality rather than form. Indeed, it concerns a tweak to the way Spotify’s free tier works on mobile: “750 on-demand tracks in 15 constantly changing playlists”, is the way one user described it to the magazine. “Playlists with blue shuffle symbol are still subject to shuffle restriction, but Spotify makes available a lot of its own curated playlists on a fully on-demand basis”. The source also suggested that many of the people complaining about the new user interface haven’t yet realised that they also have the new on-demand playlists.

Contacted by Music Ally, Spotify confirmed that this is a test, while declining to give further details.
