Quote:

Streaming music service Spotify is offering college students in the US access to its unlimited, ad-free tier for $4.99 a month, half the usual price. The discount can be used with both new and existing Spotify accounts, and it's valid for twelve months at a time; student subscribers can reapply the offer each year for a total of three renewals.The terms and conditions specify that the discount is offered for a limited time while supplies last, but there's no sign that it will be ending any time soon. To validate would-be partakers, Spotify says in the terms and conditions that it’s using SheerID, a service that’ll ask for information like your name, date of birth and educational institution.

The program is intended to cover “any student in four-year, two-year or junior college for the duration of their schooling.”

Call me crazy, but I don't get the point of Spotify? I just get all the music I want in iTunes and I have about 10,000 songs so I don't think there's much of a point to sign up?

Mister Martian

OMG. The savings

Maybe for people who don't have such a collection but really wanna listen to all they want?

I know they need to fix the app, has been so damn buggy for me.

So I didn't really need to provide any proof of my college enrollment.

I logged in via Facebook, searched for my school, and that was it.

These Spotify bitches are barely making any money now, and they decide to do this now. Let's hope their money losses doesn't lead to them closing operations.

What about all the other countries who are not part of the US? Or do these racists not care about increasing their revenue? Is our money not good enough or something?

They do this in the UK, it's supposed to be £10 a month but students get it for £5 a month. It's so good!
