I have a student discount on Spotify which is half off original subscription. I listen to Spotify way more than when I was just on the free version because I don't have to listen to annoying and repetitive ads, and I have unlimited 'skips' and I can personally pick the exact songs I want to listen to. Although, once I am not on student discount anymore, I'd have to reconsider if it is worth it.
Would you have to prove that you're a student to get that discount? I think I'd consider subscription radio, if I had the chance. I will have to check online, to see what's available, at what price.
