What is Spotify?
When I was in college, Napster changed the world with the ability to download music. Although Metallica didn’t appreciate the technology, it helped 19-year-old me earn some extra money burning CDs in the dorm.
Fast-forward 23 years and streaming music online is much more common. In fact, you have many options to stream music, including Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube, iHeart Radio, Pandora, Spotify and many more.
According to Digital Music News, 27% of all US adults use Spotify.
Spotify is one of the leading music and podcast streaming services in the country with millions of songs and episodes. They also offer a number of exclusive podcasts, including The Joe Rogan Experiment.
Currently, you can listen to Spotify free, but there are some limitations that include:

Only can skip six songs per hour
Can’t listen offline
Limited number of songs and podcasts
