With 138 million paid subscribers, Spotify is a leading global music service. Spotify has taken many initiatives to promote itself and increase its revenues. To attract more people to the service, apparently hoping to upgrade to the paid plan, Spotify introduced a new free tier in April. Although the service has been around for more than a decade, there are <a href=\"https:\/\/socioblend.com\/blog\/2020\/03\/10\/10-things-about-spotify-that-you-didnt-know\/\">things about Spotify that most users didn\u2019t know<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prior to launch, Spotify offered two-tier: an ad-free tier for $ 9.99 a month and a free tier with ads. The first allows you to download songs to listen to them offline and does not restrict access. The latter limits the number of songs you can access, popular playlists, and shuffle play. As part of Spotify&#8217;s new free tier, you can listen to any track from Discovery&#8217;s 15 playlists if you wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spotify also offers other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spotify.com\/us\/premium\/#PLANS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">subscription plans<\/a> like student accounts, family accounts, and Spotify Duo (for two at a reduced price). Each level is available with others on the market at competitive prices. However, if you&#8217;re ready to start saving money each month, it might be time to cancel your subscription.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This article shows you how to cancel\nyour Spotify Premium account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Things to Know Before Canceling<\/strong> The Subscription<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are a Spotify Premium customer, you need to cancel your Spotify subscription before closing your account. This will remove all the playlists you have downloaded for offline listening and also the followers. You are not the owner of this music and once you unsubscribe you will lose these locally stored playlists. Not only you will loose playlist you will also loose your <a href=\"https:\/\/nnnehasingh15.medium.com\/the-ultimate-guide-to-boost-your-spotify-monthly-listeners-in-2020-45a4126aa4d0?source=your_stories_page-------------------------------------\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">gain monthly listerners on Spotify<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you simply unsubscribe from Spotify\nFree but continue to use it, you will still be able to stream those playlists\nand they will be in your listening history. However, if you keep removing\nSpotify completely, you will lose access to these online and offline playlists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you delete your Spotify account,\nyou will lose your username. If you get a student discount, you won&#8217;t be able\nto apply it to another account for one year after your first registration if\nyou decide to return to Spotify.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to Cancel Spotify Subscription<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Before deleting your account, you must\ncancel any paid subscriptions you have with the service. It may sound simple,\nbut you may run into a problem. Where you can delete it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Going to the Spotify website to delete\nyour account will only work if you have set up the service through Spotify.\nSome users have subscribed to an iTunes subscription, while others may have\nused their Google Play subscription or another service.
