Spotifyjust launched in the Philippines, with premium accounts and everything. Spotify will now provide access to free and premium tiers for Philippine users, with the latter providing ad-free playback and offline listening for PHP 129 a month1. This is a boon for the people who listen to music, ifofquestionablebenefit to musicians. The Pandora’s box of album/song sales was opened long ago though, and I’m more interested to see if music discovery in Spotify will mature with respect to local music. Right now, there’s an OPM radio station available, and that’s it. This means that tide/edit will be followed with Sharon Cuneta, based on my experience using the service today. I’m optimistic that Spotify’s recommendations will improve once their algorithms compile more usage data from Philippine users, but we’ll see.

Spotify has also tied up with Globe for mobile devices, and based on the wording offered on Globe’s announcement, Spotify can be availed on-demand without additional data charges. From the announcement2:
Spotify has also teamed up with Globe Telecom as its exclusive telecommunications partner in the Philippines to offer all 38 million Globe Postpaid, Globe Prepaid and Tattoo-on-the-go Prepaid subscribers free access to Spotify through the telco’s new data plan, GoSURF. GoSURF gives customers mobile internet access together with Spotify for as low as P10 a day. Even better, streaming music on Spotify won’t touch your default data allowance across all GoSurf plans!
Rolling out on April 13, Globe Telecom Prepaid subscribers can register to:
Globe Tattoo Free Spotify Subscription
GoSURF 10: PHP 10 for 10 MB of data plus Spotify for 24 hours.
GoSURF 299: PHP 299 for 700MB of data and Spotify Premium, valid for 30 days. (Postpaid only)
GoSURF 999: PHP 999 for 5GB of and Spotify Premium, presumably valid for 30 days. (Postpaid only)
Update (4/13): Globe recently released its GoSurf plan breakdown. Monthly subscribers to GoSurf get 1 GB of free Spotify streaming. 1 GB isn’t unlimited, but it’s roughly 23 hours of streaming on Spotify’s “Normal” quality stream.
The middle tier looks like a great sweet spot, and I’m hopeful Globe and Spotify have arranged a proper back-end to properly link Spotify premium subscriptions to accounts. PHP 170 for 700 MB of data is a good deal too, especially when the current plan is PHP 299 for 300 MB or PHP 499 for 1 GB.
I’ll be looking around Spotify’s library of local music now, thanks.

- PHP 129 is a far cry from the ~ PHP 450 that they charge for US users. Spotify using adaptive/prorated pricing for Philippine users is nice. ↩
