There's been a Sword of Damocles looming for months over Spotify's free tier: after a reprieve (http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/29/spotify-by-the-way-you-still-get-unlimited-songs-with-a-free-a/), some listeners past the six-month trial phase have been capped at five plays (http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/06/psa-signed-up-for-a-free-spotify-account-at-launch-time-to-whi/) per track. Spotify must not want to kill the joy of a favorite album, as it's lifting that cap for UK members. Like most of their friends on the platform, Brits now just have to cope with the usual ads and 10-hour monthly cap if they're not keen on paying for a subscription. With only the French apparently left facing the five-play limit -- qu'est-ce que c'est l'obstacle? -- it's clear that Spotify sees value in softening the hard sell for its paid service.
