Speculation online showed Spotify could add ads to Premium subscribers ahead of its Hi-Fi tier launch. Here's what the company said about it.

One of the major appeals of Spotify Premium, which is priced at $11.99 per month, is users can enjoy ad-free listening unlike the free version. Other Premium features include offline listening, the ability to play any song, unlimited skips and higher audio quality.

Spotify Premium remains ad-free despite a recent glitch causing some ads for users. Rumors suggest a possible future two-tier model forcing current Premium users to opt-out of ads or pay more. Spotify confirms commitment to an ad-free Premium experience amidst speculation about including ads at all levels.
