Hold Up, You Can Buy Audiobooks on Spotify?
Yes, my friend, you can! But here's the thing: Spotify's audiobook selection is like a quirky house party. There's a good chance you'll find the latest bestseller, but you might also stumble upon a hidden gem narrated by your great-aunt Mildred (who, let's be honest, has some interesting stories).

QuickTip: Read section by section for better flow.![]()
-
Fire Up the Spotify App (or Webpage, But Who Uses Desktops Anymore?): Look for the "Audiobooks" tab. It might be hiding amongst its musical brethren, but trust me, it's there. Think of it like finding a secret room behind a bookcase – filled with literary treasures!
-
Explore, Explore, Explore! Dive into the wonderful world of audiobooks. Search by title, genre, or even narrator (if you're hoping to find that soothing voice that once put you to sleep during a particularly dry history lecture).
-
Click that Play Button (But Wait, There's a Twist!) If you see a lock icon, hold your horses! This means the audiobook requires purchase, not your free Spotify subscription. Don't worry, it's a one-time fee, unlike that gym membership you never use.
-
Gettin' Fancy with Email: Click "Get Email" and Spotify will send you a magical link straight to your inbox. This link is your golden ticket to audiobook purchasing paradise.
-
Checkout Cha-Cha-Cha: Click the link, follow the steps, and enter your payment information. Soon, that audiobook will be yours to conquer, on your commute, at the gym (or, you know, while pretending to work).
Pro Tips for Your Spotify Audiobook Adventure:
- Don't Forget Your Headphones: Unless you want to subject everyone on the bus to your chosen literary adventure (intriguing as it may be), keep those headphones on!
- Download for Offline Listening: Because let's be honest, cell service can be spotty out there in the wild world of traffic jams.
- Bookmark Your Spot: Spotify remembers where you left off, but bookmarks are always a good failsafe (especially if your squirrel-watching daydreams take over).
So there you have it! You're now equipped to conquer the commuting blues and explore the vast world of audiobooks on Spotify. Happy listening (and maybe a little less squirrel-watching while driving)!
