A few months after launching in some smaller markets, Spotify is launching the beta of its Spotify Kids app in Australia and the UK.

Spotify Kids is a 'walled garden', 'designed with safety in mind': an ad-free, and apparently algorithm-free environment separate to the main Spotify app. Every piece of content in the app — whether it's chart pop, stories, or lullabies — is individually checked to ensure it's actually age-appropriate, and everything's sorted into human-curated playlists.

The app itself is free, but signup is available only to users who pay for a Premium Family subscription, so it's not ad-supported. And the company says kids' data is fully encrypted — the only personal details entered at signup are their first name (or a nickname) and, if they want, their birthday so they get special messages and a playlist on the day.

Listen to this episode from History Ireland on Spotify. Born in Dublin’s Fishamble Street in 1746, but resident for most of his life in Tinnehinch, near Enniskerry, Co. Wicklow, Henry Grattan was the most noted, and certainly the most eloquent, of the eighteenth-century opposition ‘patriots’ in the Irish Parliament. To mark the bicentenary of his passing and to reassess his often. With Spotify, you can listen to music and play millions of songs and podcasts for free. Stream music and podcasts you love and find music - or your next favorite song - from all over the world. Discover new music, albums, and podcasts. Search for your favorite song, artist, or podcast. Enjoy music playlists and an unique daily mix made just for you. Make and share your own. The app requires a Spotify Premium Family subscription, which costs $14.99 per month in the US (or €14.99 per month in Ireland). Partly, that’s because Spotify Kids won’t show ads, which is.

If Spotify is Lego, this is Duplo: fewer pieces, rounded edges, less complexity. Spotify Kids looks different to the main app, with a scrolling main interface made up of a stream of large, colourful tiles kids can tap to explore playlists centred around artists, moods, activities (from gaming to homework), movies, and TV.

Parents select at setup whether each individual profile is for an older or younger kid, with different content buckets for each. Kids themselves can 'heart' songs to add them to an offline Favourites list, just as in the main app, and they can also pick from a selection of colour themes and cute animated monster avatars.

You can switch back to Premium + Hulu via this link. But it might be cheaper to keep Premium for Family and a Hulu subscription on the side. Premium for Family is 14.99 for up to 6 accounts so that's a pretty good deal! If you'd like to see an offer we currently don't have, feel free to. @Maxim Why can't there be a slight increase to the family plan and only the account holder receive Hulu? Again not every family member just the main account holder? Is this a difficult task to roll out for the plan holder? I get the family plan is a huge discount in its own but that's why my. Alternately, if you sign up for Spotify Premium for the first time, you’ll get that plus Hulu for free for the first 30 days, and then be charged $9.99 a month. Starting today, you can now get ad-supported Hulu for free with your Spotify Premium account, all for $9.99 per month. That means tons of podcasts, 40 million songs, and more than 85,000 episodes. The bundle links each Hulu account to 1 premium Spotify membership. If they allowed the bundle on the Family plan, each user would get Hulu access for free which amounts up to a $30 value add if you have the max 5 family members. All for $15 /month. I don't think it's as simple as saying 'all linked accounts get 1 Hulu login'. Do i get free hulu with spotify premium family.

Older kids get the chart pop artists and playlists — Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, and Justin Bieber are generally kid-approved, though not every track's lyrics would make it past the editors — as well as collections from Disney and Nickelodeon, and other content partners. Kids 3 and up get their own audio-content sandpit to play in, with lullabies, stories, and kids' songs about important topics like dinosaurs and space.

Go the Caches folder and look for the com.spotify.client folder.3. If you do have hidden files accessible: in Finder, just go to the Library folder in your user directory.2. Delete everything inside the Storage, Data and Browser folders, but not the folders themselves. Spotify app slow download.

It's starkly different — almost as though by design! — to the creepy, unfiltered, and disturbing free-for-all that kids' YouTube experiences have mutated into. (YouTube Kids itself was launched as a sort of walled garden, with every piece of content available in the app whitelisted.)

The app has been available in this beta version to users in Ireland since Oct. 2019, and rolled out in Denmark, Sweden, and New Zealand the following month. While some reviews praise the ease of navigation for its young users, the reality is that with only about 8,000 items in the library, compared to the 30 million-plus in the main app, kids who are used to having access to whatever they want on Spotify (and their parents) do find it frustrating. It's a standalone app, so parents can't move existing family playlists over to Spotify Kids, nor can they whitelist content that isn't editor-approved so their kids can listen to non-kid things they already know and like. (Hey, if you want to explain what Ariana's 'Side to Side' is actually about to your seven-year-old, go for your life.)

Spotify says more content will be added as the five-month-old app continues its rollout, as will more customisation and filtering options for parents.

One bit of feedback: maybe adults would also like a curated playlist of songs about dinosaurs, Spotify. Just a thought.
