Key Takeaways

  • Spotify's free tier in India is losing several features, including the ability to play songs in a specific order, repeat songs, go back to previous songs, and skip to specific parts of songs.
  • This change may lead to a frustrating listening experience for free-tier users, as they will have to manually tap on every song and deal with frequent ads.
  • As a result, users in India may consider switching to other platforms like YouTube Premium or Apple Music, which offer similar features at competitive prices. Spotify may have underestimated the existing competition in the country.
