The increasing competition in online music services is leading platforms to different searches. Spotify added the podcast concept to its side after broadcasting music for a while. Everyone will remember the event that names like Neil Young left the platform due to misleading podcast episodes during the pandemic period.
Hello to Spotify audiobooks
Spotify is now starting the audiobook era after major podcast deals. Audiobooks now allow people to listen to books on the go in an era where everything is digitized. Today, there are many applications that offer audiobook services.
Spotify Ticket era
Spotify also intends to offer users a new alternative. The new feature, which started in the USA, contains a library of approximately 300 thousand books. Users can listen to audiobooks purchased via a special link from the Spotify library. In other words, it is necessary to purchase the books with this feature and it is not included in the subscription.
In the first place, the library was prepared with editor preferences. Afterwards, suggestions and lists will be prepared according to the user’s habits. The results in the Spotify general search will now include audiobooks.
Spotify plans to improve this feature over time. Normally, Storytel users could pair their audiobooks with Spotify, but this is the first time the company has offered audiobooks built-in.
