Spotify Premium Family - Spotify (BB)
Do we share an account, or do we each get our own?
Every family member invited to Premium Family gets their own Premium account, so you can each play your own music whenever you want. You don't need to use each other's login details or schedule time when you can use Spotify. And because you now have separate accounts, music recommendations are tailored to your individual tastes.

Individual vs family

Besides sharing an account with the family is there a difference? In Premium Individual I was able to listen and download some books but now I just got Premium Family and it’s got this message:

You can't buy audiobooks in the app, but titles you've already purchased through Spotify can be listened to here.

In individual the lock icons weren’t on any of these chapters - what am I doing wrong?

Spotify Has a New Secret Premium Plan
June 21, 2024 - It works like the $19.99/month Spotify Premium Family plan, but it doesn’t have included audiobooks and has a lower $16.99/month price. Spotify is also rumored to be working on a new higher-cost premium plan, which would include access to high-fidelity audio, like Tidal’s HiFi Plus and Apple Music’s lossless audio. According to Bloomberg, the plan will be released later in 2024, and will reportedly cost “at least $5 more per month.” · Hopefully, Spotify Basic will eventually become a regular plan option, instead of a hidden option only accessible to some customers.

June 22, 2024 - Users won’t be given up to six Premium or Kids accounts as they’ll all be considered Basic. And much like the individual Basic plan, families won’t have the audiobook listening hours. The same representative from earlier confirmed that the Basic Family Plan exists as an option. Beyond that, everything else stays the same as the other Spotify Premium plans, and we won’t see any changes or a third price hike.

r/spotify on Reddit: what are the advantages of premium family?
July 29, 2024 -

for context, we are a family of 4, 2 daughters, me and my wife. we share a premium individual account across 4 devices, then i bought my daughters a tablet and they installed spotify. and now one of us gets logged out from time to time, is it true only 5 devices per account? then i saw the family plan, with 6 accounts all tied in, does that mean we can log in 5 devices per account? and also can we import and export playlist? since my account holds all our playlist.
