From CNET: Parents in the US will no longer have to pay for a premium Spotify family subscription to set up a managed account for their kids, as the music streaming giant has made it free for all. On Wednesday, the company announced the immediate expansion of free managed accounts across all subscription plans, which will also include the year-end Wrapped feature for younger music fans.
Parents with a Spotify subscription -- on any tier -- can create a free managed account for their kids. Designed for music streaming, the accounts exclude podcasts and video content. This option is now available in the US, UK, France, Australia, Germany and the Netherlands, with plans to add it for more customers globally, including Canada, Europe and South America. Give your child a Spotify account with parental oversight, and your playlists, recommendations and Wrapped can be yours again.
"We're removing the cost barrier to accessing managed accounts, and are really pleased to be opening them up to young listeners around the world," said Barry Nevin, Spotify's product lead, during a press preview. "This ensures equitable access for any family who wants to create a Spotify account for their children."
