Like two-thirds of Spotify's global users, I have willingly rented-out my earholes to the Swedish company's advertisers in return for free access to nearly all the world's music (minus a few negligible nothing acts).
Unfortunately, Spotify's complimentary à la carte service hasn't extended beyond the desktop or web client unless U.S. users were willing to pay $10 a month for a Premium subscription—until now.
As of today, the company will give the same freemium desktop experience to tablets via the iOS or Android apps. Free streaming is also expanded on smartphones, though in a slightly different way. Freeloading smartphone users will be to listen to their premade playlists or those that they follow through an ad-supported shuffle function, but they won't have direct access to on-demand.
