Spotify‘s free music and podcast service is now available in South Korea. The audio streaming platform announced this on Thursday to expand its audience.
The streaming giant’s freemium business model offers both a free, limited ad-supported service and an unlimited premium subscription service.
Spotify said the move will allow the company to better connect global audiences with Korean music, which includes K-pop.
Users in South Korea can now sign up for a free account to access Spotify playlists, podcasts and daily mix, among other things, and can also choose to upgrade to ad-free premium music on demand.
“Brands that advertise on the free Spotify account can get their message across effectively as Spotify ads attract twice as much attention as social media platforms globally,” the company said.
Since Spotify launched in South Korea in 2021, average monthly streams from artists from the country on the platform now exceed 5.8 billion streams, Spotify said.
Unfortunately, the query is missing. However, I can provide information on the subjects I found in the web search results.
It seems there are at least three unrelated subjects in the search results: “No Text Azienda”, “No text provided” error, and “No answer text provided”.
- No Text Azienda: No Text Azienda is a film director and motion picture studio based in Milano. They can be found on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/notextazienda/”>[[1]].
- No text provided error: The “No text provided” error appears to be related to the Personality Insights API. According to a Stack Overflow post [[2]], this error occurs when the API is unable to analyze a piece of text that is too small. The API requires at least 100 words to function properly.
- No answer text provided: This phrase is mentioned in a Reddit post on the r/softwaregore subreddit <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/softwaregore/comments/7xks39/noanswertext_provided/”>[[3]]. However, the context of the phrase is unclear, and it does not seem to be related to the other two subjects.
Please provide the query you would like me to answer, and I will do my best to provide a comprehensive response.
