In the company&#8217;s own words, their goal was to become the epicenter of everything related to audio. It&#8217;s not an easy task: Amazon&#8217;s Audible dominates the audiobook world with an iron fist. However, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/spotify-would-be-working-on-a-feature-to-generate-playlists-with-ai\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Spotify<\/a> remains determined to challenge them.

For now, it works like this: there will be <strong>up to 15 hours of listening per month<\/strong> for all subscribers, regardless of the payment plan you&#8217;re on. And if you find it insufficient, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/these-would-be-the-advantages-of-the-spotify-supremium-subscription\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Spotify<\/a> has also introduced another option where you can <strong>purchase more hours<\/strong> if needed. Similar to music, the platform allows us to download audiobooks for offline listening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, Spotify has stated on <a href=\"https:\/\/newsroom.spotify.com\/2023-10-03\/audiobooks-included-in-spotify-premium\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">its website<\/a> that they are exploring new ways to &#8216;<strong>unlock<\/strong>&#8216; access to books. Could this mean <strong>a new subscription tier<\/strong> focused solely on audiobooks?
