Spotify expands audiobook access to family plan members for the first time
Spotify is expanding access to audiobooks with two new plans, one of which offers access to family members.
The options are currently only available for Spotify Premium users in the U.K., Australia, New Zealand, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Liechtenstein, following initial tests in Ireland and Canada. The streaming service sees AI as another opportunity for expansion, saying in last quarter’s earnings that it was working with Eleven Labs to get more books narrated, including translating texts from English to other languages. However, buying audiobook hours instead of purchasing titles, as with Amazon’s Audible, lets users experiment more with what they may want to listen to, as they won’t waste money on books they end up not liking and choose not to finish.
