Spotify is an application for streaming music on demand for a very obvious reason, it is one of the few that offers totally free content. However, although on the desktop device it does allow us to select the music we want, in mobile applications we have to settle for the random reproduction of the content that is available, there is no choice, it is the price to pay for not paying the service, in addition to the constant publicity, something logical. Nevertheless, Spotify wants to offer better content to its users "free" and that is why it is working on a new playback method.
By doing this you want to give more freedom to those who use free accounts. According to information from The Verge, Spotify is talking to major music firms to offer content on demand for free users tooThis means that those who do not pay for the service could also select certain songs under what conditions. Although of course, we imagine that in this case, the music that we can choose will be the one that is strictly fashionable, or those songs or artists whose label has paid Spotify with the intention of promoting their content. We don't have much more information about the method Spotify will use to allow us to choose content.
As they have explained, there will be small playlists, such as a "pop charts", in which we can freely select the song to listen to, so maybe we will find a dozen of the most popular songs of the moment and we can choose between them indistinctly. Something that is not very useful, because we will not have to choose a song from the list, when we are going to play the entire list and sooner or later we will hear the one we like the most. In short, we will have to be attentive to the next steps of Spotify.
