Switch to basic family!
You good sir are doing the lord's work. I saw the email about the price increase, sighed, and didn't read any further. Since I don't use audio books at all - that would have kinda sucked...so many thanks! More on reddit.com

Is there a reason you would pay for the premium over the basic family plan when the only extra perk is the plan manager getting audiobook listening time?

How does audiobook listening time work for Premium Family plans?
With a Premium Family plan, you now have access to 15 hours of audiobook listening time per month. Unused listening hours expire at the end of each month and do not carry over. The audiobook subscriber catalog includes over 250,000 titles across many genres and classics. Only the Family plan manager has access to audiobook listening time. Plan members don’t have access.

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.

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/truespotify on Reddit: Basic plan vs premium individual
June 23, 2024 -

For people that are wondering about the new plan and the cryptic "basic individual" that's not marked as premium — you still keep all the basic features of your basic music plan. The literal difference is that there's no access to audiobooks. Once I secured the basic, it showed all the features: save music, listen in any order, etc.
