https://www.spotify.com/[*Spotify*] is a cross-platform (available for
Ubuntu, macOS and Windows) proprietary music streaming service. It is a
freemium product, that is, a free version of it is available, but it is
riddled with advertisements. To use it without advertisements one needs
to pay for Spotify premium.
