Spotify正为其免费用户带来重磅升级,在推出付费会员的无损流媒体服务后,免费用户现可搜索并播放任何想听的歌曲,或播放好友及关注艺人通过社交媒体分享的音乐。这些新功能被命名为“Pick & Play”、“Search & Play”和“Share & Play”。此前,免费用户在移动设备上只能进行有限次数的跳过和随机播放。此次升级旨在通过提升免费用户的参与度,从而增加广告曝光机会,以应对其广告业务的挑战。部分高级功能如无损音质、AI歌单等仍将是付费会员专属。

🎵 Spotify为免费用户推出了“Pick & Play”和“Search & Play”功能,允许用户自由搜索并播放任何想听的歌曲,极大地提升了免费用户在音乐选择上的自由度,打破了以往的随机播放和有限跳过的限制。

🤝 新增的“Share & Play”功能鼓励用户通过社交媒体分享音乐,当用户在Instagram等平台看到音乐分享时,可以直接打开Spotify播放,这有助于促进用户间的音乐发现和互动,并可能带动更多用户转化为付费会员。

📈 此次免费用户体验升级是Spotify应对广告业务增长缓慢的策略之一。通过提升免费用户的活跃度和观看广告的次数,Spotify期望能增加其整体收入中广告所占的比例,以达成CEO设定的目标。

🔒 尽管免费用户获得了更多播放自由,但Spotify强调,如无损音质、AI歌单等高级功能仍将是付费Premium会员的专属权益,以维持付费订阅的吸引力。

Following its long-awaited launch of lossless streaming for paid subscribers, Spotify is upgrading its service for free users, too. On Monday, the company announced that free users globally will now be able to search and play any song they want or play a song shared by a friend or an artist they follow on social media.

The company calls the new features “Pick & Play,” “Search & Play,” and “Share & Play,” respectively. With the former, free users can hit play in the Spotify app to pick and play any song they want, or can even search for a particular song and play it.

The latter, “Share & Play,” could encourage free users to open Spotify when they come across music on social media. For instance, Instagram lets users share a Spotify track to Stories with sound and allows users to share music on Instagram Notes.

Previously, free users could shuffle songs with limited skips on mobile devices.

Spotify says the new features will roll out globally to free users, but there will still be some restrictions that Premium users won’t face.

In recent months, Spotify’s ad business has been struggling, with CEO Daniel Ek telling investors the company has been “moving too slowly” on this front. The streamer wants ad revenue to make up 20% of its overall revenue, but has grown it only to 11% as of June. By adding new free features, Spotify could boost engagement among its free user base, who would then be exposed to more ads.

Spotify says that other features, like its support for lossless, AI Playlists, and Mix, will remain Premium-only offerings, while others like the newly launched Messages and personalized playlist daylist, available to global users, will span both the free and paid experiences, as they had before.
