Spotify is resilient in the face of ever increasing competition from the likes of Apple, Google, Microsoft and other streaming services like Pandora. The company also offers a family plan for $14.99 that allows up to 5 members of a family to have the premium service.
Additionally, the team over at Android Central posted that some subscribers are getting the opportunity to test a new lossless audio quality. It comes at an additional cost – something that seems to be between $5-10 per month, but it isn’t official just yet.
If you haven’t tried the service and want to give it a go, you can try the Premium service free for 30 days. Signing up for it can be done right within the app.
