What do I get with Spotify Premium? Does the catalog differ by region?

Premium removes every Free-tier restriction: no ads, full on-demand playback, offline downloads, and the highest audio quality. The catalog follows your account's region, and mainstream content is nearly identical across major markets.

Premium benefits at a glance

1. Ad-free: no audio or banner ads interrupting playback.
2. On-demand playback and unlimited skips: play any track directly on mobile — no forced shuffle, no skip caps.
3. Offline downloads: save songs, playlists, and podcasts on up to 5 devices, up to 10,000 tracks per device.
4. Top audio quality: enable "Very High" quality (about 320 kbps) in settings; lossless audio is also rolling out to Premium in select markets.
5. Family plan extras: the shared auto-generated "Family Mix" playlist, parental controls for filtering explicit content, and the Spotify Kids app.

Does the catalog differ?

• The catalog is determined by the licensing for your account's region. International artists and hit albums are available almost everywhere, so day-to-day listening feels the same.
• Differences show up mainly in local content: region-exclusive local artists, radio-style playlists, or podcasts may not be searchable after a region change.
• After joining the family group, your catalog is that group's regional catalog. A track you saved earlier can turn gray if it isn't licensed there (details in "Will changing my country affect my playlists?").
