Don't worry - it's quick and painless! Just click below, and once you're logged in we'll bring you right back here and post your question. We'll remember what you've already typed in so you won't have to do it again.

My wife and I share a Spotify Duo account. When setting up our account and merging our individual accounts, we paid no mind to who would be the account manager as it's linked to our joint bank account. With the rollout of audiobooks included with premium, we are now realizing that only the account manager (which is assigned to my wife's account) is the only account able to listen to audiobooks. My wife does not care for audiobooks but I fully planned on listening; however, there does not seem to be a way to change account managers at any point in time after the account has been opened.

Because of this structure, my wife's access to audiobooks goes to waste and I cannot access the books I'd otherwise be listening to. Is there something I am missing or am I just completely out of luck? Really hope there's a solution to this issue as it seems like something that should be addressed.

As you mentioned, at the moment only the plan managers of Duo or Family subscriptions have access to audiobooks, so if necessary, you can switch the owners like so - have the current owner cancel the subscription, wait until all accounts revert to free (on the next billing date) and then the new manager can make a new plan and invite the members again. Keep in mind that going from one owner to another counts as a switch of plans, so this procedure can only be done once every 12 months, as otherwise the members may face issues joining.

I reached out to Spotify about this exact issue today as well. Very disappointing as only one member of the account can listen to audiobooks even though both are paying. I am not the Plan Manager as well so I am unable to listen to books, too.

We have run into same issue. We switched to Duo plan under husband's name. He does not listen to audiobooks, I do, and now that credit is just going to waste. What was advertised was a premium duo account, but Spotify can't claim that my account is comparable to my husband's with 1-2 fewer audiobooks a month, so mine, or yours, surely cannot be called premium. Also, because if the time we switched to duo accounts, if we go cancel our membership and then rejoin with me as the account manager, which currently seems to be the only solution, we will end up havig to pay a higher monthly fee because Spotify have increased their prices in the meantime. Very annoying, I hope they come up with a solution soon.

What a complete pain in the **bleep** to have to jump through all these hoops to change plan managers. Rather than tie it to the "plan manager", allow us to assign a book listener and only let us change book listeners once a year. I have two kids away at college.. I really don't want to fuss with kicking them back to free and then re-inviting them back. As a software developer myself I understand this was probably the easy route to take, but come on, don't take the lazy route. I'd be willing to bet that if HiFi ever rolls out it will also be tied to the plan manager's account which will be really annoying because I would want HiFi assigned to my account and audiobooks assigned to my wife's account. Your dev team must have literally zero foresight.

As far as I am concerned, this is a non-solution. It almost further complicates the situation. Why not allow the audiobooks but limit the number of hours allowed per user? Or split the listening hours evenly. There has to be a better resolution. Seems like laziness and apathy on Spotify's part.

I used to Love Spotify.
Now, I can't tell if the app is bad or its false advertising to feed the greed. I bought two premium accounts and as far as I'm aware I'm still waiting on product still paying month to month. If it's not resolved, I will be jumping ship the moment I find a better service.

This is a poor solution. Having existing costumers cancel their subscription to start a new one is a very inconvenient and not a good costumer experience. Please make it possible to change who the account manager is once a year or better yet give the ability to assign which member gets to listen to audiobooks. This can also be a once-a-year only change. My husband and I share a premium account coming from our joint account and the audiobooks are wasted being assigned to him.

So I need to cancel my premium account in order to have my wife be the account manager on a duo account? I've had my account for many years. What happens to my playlists? My wife is the one who listens to books not me. Is this something Spotify is working to remedy?

Don't worry - you keep all your playlists and saved music when your account switches to Free. The only thing you may lose is any music you had downloaded for offline listening, but you can redownload it once you folks resubscribe to Duo.

The only acceptable solution would be what "Noel18" suggested. Let us assign a listener once every 12 months. I would assume it's this way because of some contract when audiobooks were added to the mix.

Navigate to Manage > Your Members. From there, click the Invite Member button. Agencies can also invite any new Advertisers to Ad Analytics by selecting Invite Brand.

If I already have a personal Spotify account, do I still need to create an account for Spotify Ad Analytics? We recommend that you create a Spotify account that is associated with a business email to make sure all of your stakeholders can be easily looped in.

When I try to log in, Spotify Ad Analytics is suggesting the wrong email address for my account. What should I do? Depending on your web browser settings or if you are logged into your Spotify web player already, Spotify Ad Analytics may identify the wrong email address when logging in for the first time. In this case, click the Logout button on the confirmation page and sign in with the correct email address.

Hi, apologies if this has already been asked and answered, I could not find it in the forums. We have numerous Sonos products in the house and myself and my daughters have Spotify accounts. What I would like to achieve is as follows:

I am trying to delete my Spotify account. I follow the link in the FAQ and page to delete never loads. Please see attachment. I have tried this link in Firefox, Vivaldi, Safari, and MS Edge. Never loads. Tried on 2 different Macs, my iPhone and my iPad and it still does not work.

Make sure to try in an incognito window and on different networks, not just different devices. If the page still doesn't open, but you otherwise still have access to your account, you can reach out to our support team so they can assist you in closing it. Be advised though, if your account is on Premium, it cannot be closed. If you do have Premium, consider cancelling it, waiting until the account reverts to free and trying to delete it again. If it still doesn't work, reach out to our support team, making sure you're logged in on the device you're writing from.

Perhaps something in your network is preventing Spotify page from loading. I'd recommend checking your router's settings and making sure there aren't any restrictions set. It's also worth giving it another try with cellular data instead of Wi-Fi.

I have Google Home minis around the house, and I have a spotify premium account with 4 separate accts for my family members. When I originally set up the music source in Google Home I only had (or maybe it defaulted to) my Plan Manager Spotify account so it's the one linked to the Home mini, and whenever one of us asks a Google Home mini to play music, it will use my Plan Manager Spotify account. However, I often will be away from home using my Plan Manager account on my phone, and when someone at home starts playing music on a Google Home mini, it stops my music. Is it possible to switch the Google Home default account to one of the other Spotify Premium family member accounts? If so, what steps do I need to take? Thanks!

Thanks for posting. You can link a different Spotify account to your Google Home Mini so that it can't affect your music while you're using the same account. If the Spotify account is associated with a Gmail account that's linked to the speaker or display, the process to link the accounts happens automatically once Spotify is selected. If Spotify isn't associated, proceed with the normal process. Here are the steps:

For Home Assistant to communicate with Spotify, we need to createan application at Spotify using the Spotify Developer website. This willprovide you with the Spotify application credentials Home Assistant needsto allow you to log in with your Spotify account.

If Spotify was previously integrated with your Home Assistant with outdated credentials,it might be required to remove these old Spotify account credentials using theHome Assistant Application Credentials dashboard.

The Spotify API cannot initiate playback to a device not already known to the Spotify API. The source list of available devices can be found in the Details section of the Spotify Media Player Control and the source_list attribute in the Developer Tools States.

If you were wondering how to create an artist profile on Spotify, it's easy. To get started, get your music on Spotify by signing up for a TuneCore account. Next, claim and verify your Spotify for Artists profile from your TuneCore dashboard. Once your music is uploaded to Spotify, you'll be able to edit your bio, add photos, pitch singles to playlists, promote songs and more.
