![]() I don’t begrudge Spotify broadening its operations beyond music, but don’t do it on my time, and don’t do it on my dime. However, it’s another annoyance, and the latest barrier to music that has me ever-flirting with leaving Spotify for good. Yes, I could dismiss today’s audiobooks notifications and hear no more of it, for now. I’d rather it be spent on securing the MIA Hi-Fi music option it has been promising for well over a year now. That’s beyond the $16 a month I pay for the family plan that has more recently been contributing to Joe Rogan‘s Covid misinformation streams, and Meghan Markle’s bank balance.Įven today, Spotify is announcing that subscribers’ cash is being spent on services that can detect the harmful content and misinformation loitering within its podcasts. ![]() The ad informed me that I could explore 300,0000 titles, find one I wanted to listen to, and tap the play button for information about how I can buy it. Because Spotify is my music app, you see. “Want to listen to Audiobooks on Spotify?” read the notification I received on Wednesday. Now the company is spamming users with notifications when they open the app seeking unfiltered access to the tunes they pay for. Late last month Spotify announced it was further diluting its singular, very cluttered app with the addition of audiobooks. The music app we loved is dead and it’s not coming back. Now it’s spamming users with audiobook ads. The Bookcast episodes can be found here.OPINION: Spotify was pushing it with podcasts.

James and I hope that listeners will be able to feel the connection between the book and the album as we work to bring this story and these characters to life, as only two storytellers can.” When we wrote this book together, I felt I could contribute best by sticking to my first love, music. What a great way to reach out to listeners all around the world. She carries with her a brutal secret that serves as the inspiration for her heart-wrenching songs, and she soon learns that her hidden past threatens the future she’s trying to build.ĭolly Parton said, “I still can’t believe that I get to launch Spotify’s first-ever Bookcast with my buddy James Patterson. Set in Nashville, Run, Rose, Run follows an aspiring female musician who goes to the country music capital to pursue her dreams. It’s available for free exclusively on Spotify, with new episodes releasing weekly. The pair has joined forces to create the Run, Rose, Run Bookcast, which combines their co-authored fiction novel with an original soundtrack written, produced, and recorded by Dolly. The song-writing prowess of country icon Dolly Parton has been combined with the skillful storytelling of best-selling author James Patterson to create a unique audio experience which Spotify has christened a ‘Bookcast’.
