Spotify Premium Now HALF-PRICE!

UPDATE 15 June 2010: The logs show this is still one of the most read posts on my site despite having been originally posted last October.  The half price offer was short lived BUT it transpired it was also only an introductory offer.  After six months Spotify just cut me off, no warning, no offer of renewing, nothing.  One morning (same day as their “social” features went live actually) it all stopped working.

I still think £9.99 a month is too high a price point for the service and so have not resubscribed.   Sorry but there are NO half price (or any other) offers coming out of Spotify right now.

Only a couple of weeks ago I posed the question on Twitter “would Spotify double uptake if they halved the price?” To which, of course the answer was no, and it was pointed out quite clearly.

Last week we had confirmation from 3UK that they would be releasing the HTC Hero with Spotify Premium baked in next month and hey guess what I’ve just had in my inbox…

Now I am really really tempted.  Having bought 5 or 6 albums in the last month alone at £4.99 a month with offline cache the Spotify model is starting to look attractive.

UPDATE (17:50):  Having just dry run the offer it looks like it is a one-time-use discount code so it is entirely possible the offer is only being made to i) existing Spotify users and ii) even that group may be in some way limited.  Let me know if you had the offer.
