Spotify users who currently share a premium subscription among family members are used to having their playlists and listening history mixed up.

As of today, Spotify has introduced a feature called Family to help give each user separate access to the music streaming service, but still be billed to one account.

'This is one of the most asked for features from our audience,' said Ken Parks, Chief Content Officer at Spotify.

Spotify Family gives each member a Premium subscription: unlimited ad-free streaming across devices, as well as offline listening. A regular Premium subscription costs $9.99 in the US, £9.99 in the UK or AU$11.99 in Australia, per month.

Each Family account can add up to four extra members to the plan at a discounted rate. The full pricing tier per member is as follows:

The company said that the feature will roll out globally in the next few weeks. Other music streaming services that offer Family plans include Rdio, while Beats Music in the US offers this for AT&T customers.
