TL;DR
  • Spotify is improving its experience for free users.
  • The service will now let non-paid subscribers pick and play the song they want.
  • These users will also be able to play a song shared by a friend or artist.

Spotify has long been focused on improving the Premium experience. For example, Premium members recently started gaining access to lossless audio, a feature that many have been waiting for. Now it’s finally time for free users to get a little something. The service is now giving non-paid subscribers more control.

If you’re a free user of Spotify, you’ll now be able to play any song you want to listen to. The company is calling this new feature “Pick & Play.” There’s also “Search & Play,” which allows free users to search for a song and start listening instantly. And if a friend or artist shares a song, you’ll be able to listen right away with “Share & Play.”
