I can see little value in premium beyond being able to tell my Google speaker to play a specific track and it maybe guessing right what I said.

Paying more than the game pass subscription so you don't get commercials? When did pissing money away become a virtue?

Can you download tracks on regular spotify?
The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.

Even with premium, I get some ads on podcasts. It's not super frequent (maybe because Austria is a rleatively small market and gets sometimes ignored by advertisers), but annoying when it happens, esp. whent there's ads not just at the start of a podcast but also in the middle.

I don't think so. It's probably the main benefit I get out of Spotify Premium - especially for travel.

Fine, downloading makes some sense at least. Still Spotify premium feels like paying a steep fee for something readily available for free.

Also, can you add non-Spotify tracks to regular? I have a few soundtracks that live on my HD, but I can add them to playlists, and then download them e.g. onto my phone for listening on the go.

Yes. I'm on free and I do that.

The main hassle of remaining free is that you can only use shuffle mode when using a phone. Otherwise, I don't think there's that much value into going premium - hence me remaining a cheapass.

I use Spotify I lot, so I don't mind paying a bit. I definitely get my 9.99's worth out of it.

I tried free Spotify for like a week way back when, but didn't care for commercials. So I got Premium. I don't stream movies or TV shows with commercials either.
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

Yes you can, I do it constantly.

Spotify specifically lists that you can only download if you have premium.
