How do I access Free Spotify on my Windows Phone?

[noblerare]

I have a free account.  I recently installed the Spotify app for Windows Phone 8 and was able to access my music and play it without problem. 

Today, I received an email saying that I have exhausted my 48-hour Premium account free trial and asking if I want to try the Premium account free for another 30 days. 

How exactly does the Spotify Windows Phone app work?  I simply want to access my free account on my phone, not try out the Premium account.  Is there a way to do this?

Welcome to the Community noblerare! i'm afraid not. to stream or download songs for offline on Mobile Devices requires Spotify Premium and the Windows app doesn't support radio

Thank you for your response, Michael.

That's too bad.  I have been listening to my Spotify playlists from computer to computer and was hoping to be able to take my playlist on the road.  Any possibility that this functionality will be introduced in future updates?  🙂

You can search for it under the ideas section, and if it hasn't already been posted you can post the idea to get the ball rolling if you know what I mean.

Didn´t they have an ad that you can use spotify for free on mobile devices?

Yes, but Spotify free mobile is currently only available on iOS 6+ and android 2.3+.

Spotify announced Windows Phone updates coming "this spring" so I guess it should be soon:
