Today we’re starting an entirely new chapter for our audiobooks offering by making more than 150,000 audiobooks available as part of Spotify Premium subscriptions.
8-12 are my lighter reads. Some of my favorites are 25-30.
I do do double speed, so I wonder if that ticks twice as fast on there. But 15 hours a month is pretty bad.
Edit: I just got an email from audible. I’ve listened to ~20900 minutes (348 hours) in 9 months (38.5/month) on there this year, and I’ve used Scribd and Libby way more. Obviously I’m not typical, and supporting me isn’t reasonable. But since they sent that the same day I made this post I thought I’d add it.
There’s also the possibility that they’re the only service out there that doesn’t let you control playback speed. Or that they take the most restrictive of playback speed and length of book so people who listen at slowed down speed are screwed too
Yep, just looking through my collection of audiobooks, and most are about 10 hours long.

Knowing Spotify, I would assume it’s 15 hours of book regardless of speed listened.
