Spotify Audiobook Expansions

Spotify Expands Offering in Canada with Over 300,000 Audiobook Titles

— March 21, 2023 — Tech
Spotify is broadening its audio experience in Canada by adding audiobooks to its platform, giving users access to a vast catalog of over 300,000 titles, including works by renowned authors such as Margaret Atwood and Emily St. John Mandel. Available in both English and French, the audiobooks experience is also accessible in the US, UK, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand.

Users can discover audiobooks on Spotify through their library, in search, and on the Home section. To listen, audiobooks will need to be purchased through a one-time payment on open.spotify.com, after which they will be unlocked and saved in the user's library.

For enhanced listening, users can download content for offline enjoyment, utilize the automatic bookmarking feature, adjust the speed, and rate the book after completion. With Canadians' quick adoption of podcast listening, the addition of audiobooks positions Spotify as the go-to destination for diverse audio content in one seamless experience.
