Hi Friends,
Spotify, the largest global music streaming subscription service, officially launched in South Africa, offering a revolutionary and unrivaled music experience tuned to your personal taste.
With a worldwide community of over 159 million music fans, Spotify offers users the choice of a free ad-supported service or an ad-free Premium subscription service. Users can listen for free forever, or alternatively can upgrade to Spotify Premium for the ultimate Spotify experience for only R59.99 per month*.
Spotify allows you to browse, discover, curate playlists, build your own music collection and share music with friends. With a catalog of over 35 million songs all available to both free users and subscribers, Spotify comes to South Africa offering the very best in both local and international music.
“Spotify is very excited to announce our launch in South Africa today. We have had the continent in our sights for a while and are finally able to offer South African fans access to all the music they already love on Spotify, while helping them to enjoy, discover and share new music from both local and international artists simply and easily,” said Michael Krause, Spotify MD, EMEA.
The best playlists
Spotify delivers music for every taste and mood. South African users have instant access to a wide range of local playlists expertly curated and regularly updated by our team of music experts, including Hip Hop Juice, Top Hits South Africa, House Nation, iGqom Le and SA Gold, alongside millions of Spotify and fan-built international playlists.
Unique music personalization and discovery features
A major feature of the Spotify service is its personalization, which allows fans to find the music they already love with ease, and will also help them discover new music and artists to love, based on their taste and listening patterns. When a new user joins Spotify, we take them through a ‘Taste Onboarding’ process, which helps Spotify quickly learn more about your music tastes.
Personalised discovery features including Daily Mix (a series of playlists combining your favourite tracks with new songs we think you’ll love), Release Radar (a playlist of new music based on the artists you follow and listen to most, updated every Friday) and Discover Weekly (a playlist based on your unique listening habits - coming soon) mean you’re never more than a moment away from the music you love.
*Ways to pay:
Credit cards: Visa, Mastercard, Amex Debit cards: Visa & Mastercard
Enjoy a 30-day free trial when signing up for Spotify Premium with a credit or debit card.
**Spotify’s default data streaming setting for South Africa is 24kbps
To give you a comparison, Spotify uses 10.8 megabytes per hour of data while streaming music, compared with 43.2MB per hour as the lowest reported data consumption rate available to other music streaming services, according to Android Central.
And for when you are on wifi and want to stream at high quality rates, Spotify also offers data streaming at 96kbps, 160kbps and 320kbps (for Premium users)
