A song will cost nothing to streamon smarphones and tablets, but must be listened to as part of an album in shuffle mode.
Spotify announced free streaming services for mobile gadgets as well as an exclusive deal with Led Zeppelin, pictured — so music lovers can get their fix of the British metal precursors no matter where they 'Ramble On.'
Spotify’s got a whole lotta love for free tunes.
The streaming music company launched a new free service for smartphones and tablets Wednesday and inked an exclusive deal with Led Zeppelin as it aims to turn up the volume in an increasingly crowded industry.
Its mobile service had previously only been available to users who paid $10 a month for a subscription.
Now, users can pick tracks they want to hear and listen for free — with commercials.
The caveat is that they can’t listen to the exact song they want to hear, exactly when they want to hear it. Instead, they’ll need to play tracks on playlists and albums randomly in shuffle mode.

Spotify users can now stream music free to their mobile devices.
Spotify, which has 24 million active users, already offers a free service on desktop computers with commercials.
The Sweden-based company is betting offering more free services will tempt users into paying up to avoid ads.
It’s battling fierce competition in the streaming music space from rivals like Pandora, which has 70 million active users, as well as Apple’s iTunes Radio, Rdio, Sirius XM and others.
Spotify also announced it’s launching in 20 new markets for a total of 55 worldwide, and it has partnered with Led Zeppelin to exclusively offer the band’s entire catalogue.
