15 hours a month? The average audiobook is 8 to 12 hours. This is one of those "The first hit is free" kind of deals. I guess one free book a month is better than no free books a month.

I don't use Audible so this could be neat. It's not free though since you're still paying for Spotify Premium
When they first announced audiobooks I was so excited, only to realize I would have to buy individual books. Felt strange when the whole value proposition of Spotify is you don't have to buy every individual song you want to listen to. I guess sales of audiobooks were low enough they felt pressured to modify it somehow.
15 free hours a month is basically equivalent to audibles one book credit a month. Obviously I would prefer unlimited access to their whole audiobook library, but I feel like this is a decent compromise.
Might be nice, have to wait and see. For when ever they fell like releasing it over here. We got DJ a little while ago.
It does a bit piss me off that a Swedish company, put Sweden so far down the line of new features.
God I wish they'd stop. I just want music
