Internet service provider Virgin Media has finally announced an “exclusive and groundbreaking partnership with Spotify” that makes it the first UK digital entertainment provider to offer Spotify bundled with broadband and on TV. You can read through the offical press release, but here are the bullet points with comments.
- Spotify Unlimited and Spotify Premium will be available from Virgin Media
We hope Virgin Media will be able to do a better job along these lines. Existing customer benefits. Axeso audi download. However, what we're really hoping for is that, as well as limited sales, Virgin Media will offer Spotify plans at a knock-down price for their customers: a long-term benefit that could save Spotify/Virgin fans hundreds of pounds. Customers of Virgin Media that are new to Spotify or already have Spotify accounts will also be able to get offers of a three or six month extension to their existing subscription for free.
These are Spotify’s two paid-for services, so Spotify on Virgin will be ad-free.
- Use Spotify on your TV (through Virgin Media’s TiVo box)
Virgin Media’s TiVo box (aka Virgin Media Powered by TiVo) has an Apps section which will undoubtedly be where you’ll launch Spotify from. This will be the first paid-for app on Virgin, as all the others (iPlayer, YouTube etc.) are available for free to all customers.
Asked about the latest emails, a spokesperson for Virgin Media said “We are offering selected customers in a number of locations the opportunity to upgrade to a Hub 4 free of charge. Virgin Media has signed an exclusive partnership deal with music streaming service Spotify.The 'pioneering partnership' will see Spotify's catalogue of more than 13 million songs available to Virgin customers however they want, be it online, on the move through their mobiles or in the living room through their TVs.

- Bundled solution for customers on Virgin Mobile
As with previous deals with 3, I expect this means Virgin Mobile customers will get phones with Spotify pre-installed and monthly subscription built into the contract. https://newdisco943.weebly.com/blog/how-do-i-download-spotify-songs-to-itunes. There will probably also be specials like free Spotify Premium for two months or six months (both these deals have been offered on Three Mobile).
- Available to both new and existing Virgin Media customers
As an existing Virgin Media customer this is good news for me!
- Existing Spotify users on Virgin Media broadband can keep existing accounts and still take advantage of bundled offers
Your username (and playlists) will remain, but this sounds like it would involve switching your monthly payments from Spotify to Virgin Media to receive the bundled offer.
- Customers choosing Spotify through Virgin Media benefit from exclusive features, content, and special promotions
Will be interesting to see exactly what these exclusives entail. I expect they might include things like linking songs in Spotify to Virgin Media’s TV On Demand music video service, and discount subscriptions for the first 6 months (Virgin Media usually have a “six months half price” deal for all new customers).
- Spotify app on TiVo jointly developed by Virgin Media and Spotify

- Due to launch in the coming months, rolling out to existing Virgin Media customers first (with “special offers”)
Early rumors suggested initial trials with select customers in July, but my sources insist that they’re a little way from that.
The bundles themselves are:
- Virgin Media broadband with Spotify
- Virgin Media Powered by TiVo with Spotify
- Virgin Mobile with Spotify (non-exclusive)
Existing bundles include things like “10Mb broadband and phone bundle: £5 a month for 3 months then £13.50 a month.” These bundles have the option to add top ups such as faster broadband, landline talk-time and additional TV channels, so I expect Spotify will be added as an extra here. https://cleverfindyour112.weebly.com/youtube-dmg-songs.html.
The press release didn’t give any indication of price, but The Telegraph is claiming it will cost the same as Spotify’s current pricing (i.e. £5/month for Spotify Unlimited and £10/month for Spotify Premium), although confusingly they then go on to say that the price point is “still unclear.” I would expect the price to be cheaper than subscribing through Spotify directly, even apparently bundled for free. As Mark Mulligan says:
![Customers Customers](/uploads/1/3/3/9/133939086/760427508.jpg)
Spotify and Virgin will have to hit upon heavily subsidized prices, ideally with the cost to consumer hidden entirely in some bundles. Simply offering a couple of £ discount won’t fly.
This has been a great week for Spotify, what with this Virgin Media announcement, the release of an updated iPhone app that finally brings playlist folders to mobile (yay!), and most-importantly (for our American friends) the official confirmation of Spotify USA.
Virgin Media has announced a deal with online music streaming service Spotify, to allow its customers to access tracks online though their mobiles or, for the first time, through their TV.
Spotify streams music to your computer over a broadband internet connection, so there’s no need to download or store the files on your computer. Does hulu give me free spotify. You can sign up to a free service, or there are two monthly subscription services – Unlimited and Premium.

Virgin Media haven’t given an exact date yet, but it’s due to launch in the ‘coming months’ to new and existing customers. Pricing is also yet to be announced but it says there will be a range of special offers.
The Virgin difference?
As you can already access Spotify online and through your mobile phone, without having to be a Virgin Media customer, it’s the pricing for the two paid for services that will be most interesting to see. It’s likely that Spotify’s services will be available as part of a Virgin Media bundle with either its broadband or TV services.

In addition there are promised ‘exclusive features and content’, and eligibility for ‘special promotions’, for users who choose to access Spotify through Virgin Media. We’re looking forward to finding out what these might be as the service is rolled out to Virgin’s customers over the next couple of months.
