In another attempt seemingly aimed at pushing more users towards its Premium subscription service, Spotify has begun restricting access to song lyrics on its free tier.
While Spotify hasn’t issued an official announcement, the company did confirm to TechCrunch that features can vary over time, between markets and across devices. This response suggests the change may be more than just a limited test, although Spotify has yet to confirm any specific affected regions or users.
Spotify’s confirmation to the news outlet follows posts on Reddit from disgruntled users who encountered messages indicating a limit on how many lyrics they could view.
