Cancel Spotify premium

We meet again and in this article, I am going to show you all how to cancel Spotify premium, how it works, how much it costs, whether it is really worth your money?, and everything you need to know about the music platform named “Spotify”. This digital music platform is currently available in more than 180 countries. Spotify has 280.14 active monthly users (active) from Europe and North America. The European region covers about 40% of the users whereas USA & Canada (North America) covers 29%, Latin America up to 20% and the other region covers 11% of users. Honestly, my day kind of feels empties when I do not listen to music. I listen to it while making notes, working out, or on the bus. (in fact, I am listening to music now and writing this article) Let’s go deep into Spotify to find the answers to your queries.

What is Spotify

The music platform Spotify was launched on 7 October in the year 2008. The founder of one of the most famous and used music platforms is Daniel Ek Martin Lorentzon. They founded it on 23 April 2006. It is a platform mostly used to listen to music but people also use it to listen to podcasts and audiobooks. Undoubtedly Spotify is the global leader in streaming music platforms. (I rank it higher than Apple Music and Tidal.) Spotify is a free-to-use platform but if you want some extra benefits, you can have the Spotify premium plan.

Spotify provides you with an enormous amount of online libraries of podcasts and music. You got millions of songs from many different genres like metal, rock, pop, rap, children’s music, classical, chant and so many more available on it. Almost all the music artists around the globe are on this platform, no matter how big or small an artist they are (it has become a must for them.) So, you can listen to music and podcast of any genre, any artist.

Spotify plans

There are a total of five different plans on Spotify (including the free plan) for this audio streaming service. Let’s take a brief look at all the plans so, you all can choose the best plan for yourself. Here is the list of the plans:

Spotify Free plan

The basic one and free to use. You can listen to absolutely everything available on Spotify. It is just that you will have comparably fewer features and your experience will be a little irritating because you will have to listen to advertisements after some songs, this is the only major disadvantage of this plan. You can still use the playlist feature, listen to radio stations on Spotify and search for new artists or music. It can also be used on your phone or desktop, and can even use it in different countries for a maximum of 14 days. You can also access podcasts and audiobooks in this feature. The two major drawbacks of this feature are that you are only allowed to skip 6 songs per hour and the streaming quality is low. ( it is 160kb/s max)

Premium Individual plan

As the name suggests, it is a premium plan for a single person/account. the access to content is the same as the free plan, you can access all the songs, podcasts, and audiobooks, then what’s the difference? Well, if you are a guy like me who takes listening to music seriously then premium plans are for you. With Spotify’s premium individual plan you can listen to songs without being interrupted by those ads, download your favorite music and listen to it when offline.

The premium plan especially comes in handy when you are listening to a whole music album in one go. And if you are an individual to travel often then the premium is important for you because with the premium plan free plan you can only access music for 14 days when abroad. Playbacks as many times you want, enhanced streaming quality up to 320kb/s max. All this for the amount of $9.99 per month.

Premium Duo plan

Spotify premium plan for two individuals. This premium plan is specially made for couples. Not only has all the features of a premium plan but it also has romantic sharing features, the Duo Mix. it is a feature that creates a playlist on its own for you. The playlist that it creates is special because this playlist contains all the music listened to by two people sharing this plan. This romantic plan will cost you $12.99 per month.

Premium family plan

A premium for your whole family (the limit is only 6 family members) living together. If you are looking for a plan for your family or you all live in the same house. You not only get all the advantages of a premium plan but also the two additional features, the Family Mix and the Spotify kids. All the members in this plan should live at the same address (you can’t trick Spotify now, they access each member’s GPS.) if you are a group of homies living together then you can split up the expense of the family plan, it will cost $2.50 to each member. Spotify premium family plan cost $14.99 per month. The parents can control the access of explicit content for members of the family. This feature is called parental control.

Spotify premium for students

A money-saving plan for you if you are a student. Spotify provides its streaming services to students for 50 percent off for a whole year. Not only does it reduce the prices of the yearly plan but also of its monthly plans. And you have the option to renew your premium for students for up to four years. It will easily cover an undergraduate degree. Not only does it provide all features of a premium plan but It also provides you access to Hulu’s ad-supported plan and SHOWTIME subscription absolutely free. One has to verify their student status (it is done through a third-party service) in order to qualify for Spotify’s student premium plan. If you already purchased the Spotify premium individual plan and you are a student then you can easily switch to Spotify’s premium plan for students. This plan is $4.99 per month.

One can also hold listening parties if they have any kind of premium plan. (they are so much fun.) it lets you listen to songs with up to five friends. In this, you can pick songs to play by using the Group Session feature. You can also try an individual premium plan for one month at no cost. This much time is enough to decide whether you want the premium subscription or not.

How to create a Spotify account

Let’s go music fans. If you want to create a Spotify account to stream your favorite music, audiobooks, and podcasts then there are two ways for you to create an account. You can either create your Spotify account using their official Spotify app on your device or using the official website of Spotify via the account creation page.

Create a Spotify account using the Spotify app

here is the guide to creating a Spotify account using the app:

Click on either SIGN UP FREE or CONTINUE WITH FACEBOOK.(better to click on the SIGN UP FREE option)
It will ask you for your email address, enter the email, and tap on the NEXT option.
You will need to enter some more information such as an account password, your username, your gender, and your birthdate. It will hardly take you a minute to fill in all this information.

Spotify premium vs Spotify free

Look both the versions are legit to use. Spotify free and Spotify premium both works the same. An equal number of songs are available on both versions. If you don’t have any problem with the advertisements between the songs and don’t want those additional features then you can go for the free plan on Spotify. But, if you want to have some extra benefits, you travel a lot, want to hold listening parties, stream in high quality, listen to your music offline, and obviously hate advertisements between songs then you should go for the premium plan.

How to make a playlist on Spotify

A playlist is a list of songs. Not just any songs, the songs which you like or add meaning to the playlist. The length of a playlist completely depends on one who is creating it. You can add as many songs to it as you want to. You can create many playlists too. (even, though I have got three playlists on my Spotify.) But before making a playlist, have you decided why you are making it? What kind of theme would it have? What kind of songs would it contain? For whom you are creating it and all.

I have three playlists and two of them are for me. I dedicated the third one to someone. If you have someone special you should make a playlist and dedicate it to them too. If you have someone special and you two haven’t made a playlist for each other then please do! Try to make a playlist containing songs of the same vibe such as a romantic playlist, or a hardcore. Okay! I have written enough bullshit playlists now, let’s go and learn how to make one. Follow my guide. Here are the instructions on how to make a playlist on your smartphone:

Open the Spotify app on your android or apple smartphone. And log into your account.
Tap on the “Your Library” option. It is the option on the bottom list
You will see the “+” (plus) icon on the upper right side of the screen. Just beside the search icon. Tap on it.
It will ask you to give a name to your playlist. You can’t proceed further if you don’t give a name to it right now. So, give any name to it now (only if you haven’t thought of a name.)
Your playlist is created but it is empty. Now, add songs to it. Tap on the “Add songs” options to add songs to your playlist.
A “Search” option will appear. Write the name of the song you want to add to your playlist. Spotify will also suggest random songs in the beginning but the moment you add a song to your playlist, it will suggest similar songs to you too.
Tap on the “+” (plus) icon, just next to a song’s name to add that song to your playlist
You will get a confirmation message “Added to Playlist” (here playlist = the name of your respective playlist) on the bottom of the Spotify app screen. Indicating that the song is now a part of your playlist.

Here are the instructions on how to make a playlist on your windows or mac

First of all the Spotify version of windows, mac, and Linux works almost the same. Now, let’s move to the topic of how to make a playlist on your windows or mac. Here are the easy steps:

Either launch the Spotify app on your windows, mac, or Linux or if you use the official web page of Spotify then open that.
Tap on the “New Playlist” option. It is on the left column of the Spotify screen
Then tap on the “New Playlist” option to make a new playlist
A new interface will appear in front of you. You will get options like, Name your playlist, CHOOSE IMAGE for your playlist, and a Description option to write an eye catchy short detailed description about your playlist. Do these things.
Once you are done with step 4 tap on the “CREATE” option
Now to add something to your playlist. You can use the “BROWSE” option or search for a particular thing you want to add
Tap on the “…” three dots icon located next to the name of a track
Then tap on the “Add to Playlist” option and then click on the name of the playlist you want to add the track into.

How to add a whole album to a Spotify playlist on your windows or mac

Yes! You can also add a whole album to your Spotify playlist. Not just one but many. Follow my instructions to find out how. Here we go:

Open Spotify on your windows or mac. Open the app or the web page and log into your Spotify account.
Open the playlist you want to add the album into.
Click on the “Add songs” option and then search for the album you want to include in your playlist. Click on the album

You can use the same method on your Android or iPhone to add a whole album to your playlist.

How to delete songs in large quality from Spotify on windows or mac

Just like I showed you add a whole album to your playlist. You can also remove

Songs in bulk too. Open the Spotify app on your windows or mac. Open the playlist you want to remove songs from. Now, hold the Control key if you are using windows or hold the Command/Apple/Clover key if you are using the mac. Select the tracks which you want to remove from your playlist and then click on one of the selected track’s titles. Then tap on the Remove from this playlist option. This will remove every selected title from the playlist.

How to delete songs from Spotify playlist on android or iPhone

You can not remove songs from your Spotify playlist in bulk as you removed them on your windows or mac. You have to remove each song one by one. Follow my instructions:

Open the Spotify app on your android or iPhone
Open the playlist you want to remove songs from
Click on the “…” three dots
Then tap on the Edit option
Then tap on the “-” (minus) icon of each song to remove them from your playlist.

How to make your Spotify playlist collaborative or private

Some of you don’t know that anyone can access your Spotify playlist. Only if your playlist is public. You can also search for people’s playlists and listen to them. You need to search the name of the public playlist and you will surely find it on the search result.

Note- When you make a playlist, Spotify by default makes it public. One can listen to a public Spotify playlist but can not make any kind of changes to it.

A collaborative playlist on Spotify means that you are allowing many people to access it and make changes to it too. If you make a playlist private no one can access it. To make your Spotify playlist private or collaborative, follow these instructions:

Open Spotify on your device (Android, iPhone, windows, or mac)
Open the playlist you want to private.
Click on the “…” three dots (more) option
Then tap on the “Make private” or “Make collaborative.” whatever you want to do with your playlist, click on the respective option. And you are done.

Once you private your playlist everyone who had access to it except you will lose access to the playlist. They will not be able to search, listen, or make changes to it.

Final words on Spotify

Well, this was all on cancel Spotify premium. I have listed all the premium plans just in case you want to switch to another subscription plan. Spotify had 180 million premium subscribers in quarter 4 of the year 2021 and generated an income revenue of 9.67 billion euros. It has already reached 182 million in quarter 1 of 2022 and is projected to reach up to 187 million premium subscribers until quarter 2 of 2022. Also, do you know that among the podcast platforms in the United States Spotify ranks in the 2nd position? 40% of people in the United States use Spotify daily. I told you all this because people consider Spotify as a music streaming platform only. Spotify has over 180,000 episodes of podcasts, 4 million podcasts, and 70+ million songs available on it.
