Spotify free tier users no longer restricted to shuffle mode

Spotify free tier users are no longer restricted to shuffle mode as part of their announcement of a major update. This means users who don’t pay for Spotify Premium can now select and play individual songs.

The news follows changes to Spotify Premium, which introduced lossless audio support at no extra cost. Given the performance upgrade, Spotify has decided to improve the experience for free tier users as well.

As readers may expect, the free tier will still come with ads and limited skips. However, removing shuffle will give users more control with the overall listening experience.

Competing platforms generally don’t offer this kind of access without having to dive into a paywall. The update to Spotify’s free tier is rolling out globally as of this week.
