ItΓÇÖs likely that you predominantly associate Spotify with music and
podcasts, but if youΓÇÖre a Premium member, you also get 15 hours of
audiobook access per month. For some members, though, that clearly isnΓÇÖt
enough, as Spotify has introduced a new add-on subscription that doubles that
listening time.

Audiobooks+ was first trialled in Ireland and Canada, and is launching
initially for Premium Individual and Plan members in a number of countries in
Europe, as well as Australia and New Zealand. Once youΓÇÖve added it to your
existing subscription, youΓÇÖll get an additional 15 hours of listening to
audiobooks included in SpotifyΓÇÖs catalog, on top of whatΓÇÖs already
included in the base plan. For individuals, Spotify Premium on its own costs
$12 per month.

For those on Premium Family ($20 per month) or Duo ($17 per month) plans, the
plan manager has to purchase the add-on, and theyΓÇÖre also able to buy a one-
time top-up of 10 hours if they run out before their entitlement resets each
month.

Spotify does already offer an Audiobooks Access plan to customers in the US
only, which is separate from the Premium offering and also includes access to
music and podcasts with ads.

Pricing for Audiobooks+ varies by market, but will cost £9 per month in the
UK (around $12), where an individual Premium plan costs £12 (about $16).
WeΓÇÖll find out what it costs here when it arrives in the US, which Spotify
told Engadget will happen in the "coming weeks".
