Spotify South Africa

The world’s largest music streaming service has officially launched in South Africa and it’s a better price than anything on the market… free.

 

Spotify, the largest global music streaming service, will officially launch in South Africa today, Tuesday 13th March 2018.

The streaming service is the best way to listen to music on your mobile or tablet, you can search for any track, artist or album and listen FOR FREE. You can also make and share playlists or build your biggest, best ever music collection.

The South African launch marks the first time Spotify will be available on the African continent.

“With over 159 million active users, including over 71 million Premium subscribers, Spotify offers a choice between an ongoing free ad-supported music service and a fully featured, ad-free subscription option.”

And that’s the difference. It has the cheapest price when compared to anything else current on the subscription based music streaming services. It’s FREE with ads in between songs… but one of the only music streaming services with this option.
