    So only Amazon can charge ridiculous fees then?

    Spotify player is garbage compared to a real podcast player but I’d rather that than Amazon’s prices on top of Spotify.

      I love Spotify because the skip button becomes a jump button for podcast which makes driving and going back a bit so easy.

      I hate Spotify because of everything else they do, especially the push to advertise to premium users.

      That said the audiobook function is shit, I will never pay an additional cent per month to Spotify. I’m never going back to that model.
