Is Signing up For Spotify Free?
One of the most appealing features that have added to the popularity of this service is that you can freely access the content. Unfortunately, like all other premium applications, the free version of Spotify is ad-supported which means ads can pop up often. However, even using the free version worth the try.

To start using the application, you must first create a Spotify account which is completely free.
