Original article, October 22, 2019 (01:23 PM ET): Last year, Spotify made it incredibly easy for pretty much anyone in the United States to get a free Google Home Mini. As it turns out, Spotify. Spotify Premium users enjoy ad-free music, unlimited track skips and the ability to download content as part of the subscription fee. Add a Google Home Mini to the equation, however, and you could be adding hands-free music, voice-controlled playback to that perks list too. The Google Home Mini is essentially Google's spin on an Amazon Echo Dot.
We’ve already told you about one great smart speaker deal today, but do you know what’s better than cheap? Free! /can-you-download-music-on-spotify-pc-app.html.
On Tuesday, Spotify announced that it is bringing back its free Google Home Mini offer, but is opening up the offer to far more customers than were able to take advantage of it last year. In 2018, only subscribers with Spotify Premium for Family subscriptions were able to snag the free Google Home Mini, but starting October 22nd, 2019, new and existing Premium Individual subscribers are eligible to pick up a free Home Mini as well.
Head to this page on Spotify’s website where you’ll be asked to link up your Google and Spotify accounts. Once you prove that you aren’t a robot, you’ll be redirected to Google’s online store, where you can choose between four colors of Google Home Minis: Coral, Charcoal, Chalk, and Aqua. With Saver shipping, I was able to complete my purchase for a grand total of $0, and my completely free Google Home Mini will arrive in the next two weeks.
In all likelihood, this is just an easy way for Google to clear out the remaining Home Mini inventory now that the Nest Mini is available with better sound, improved voice recognition, and a wall mount, but if you have ever wanted to give Google’s smart speaker a spin, this is the cheapest and easiest way to do so.
I don't listen to either of those (as far as I know) and have had few problems finding the music I want to listen to. As with other streaming services, Spotify can only offer the music they're legally able to offer. The record labels, or the artists themselves if independent, need to provide Spotify with the tracks, so if DJ Sharpnel hasn't done that, or if the group's label hasn't done that (assuming there isn't a label), it likely won't be listed in Spotify.It would be nice if every track by every artist was available, but then the service wouldn't be legal and would likely be shut down.There's a thread hear about Japanese music on Spotify that you might be interested in:If I'm not mistaken, DJ Sharpnel is a Japanese band, which is why I mention that thread.

If you pay for a Premium Individual or Premium Family plan, be sure to jump on this offer (providing you actually want a Google Home Mini, of course), because Spotify says it will only be around while supplies last.
