Audiobooks arrive on Spotify 12:43PM, Friday 3rd July 2009
Streaming music sensation, Spotify, has started making audiobooks available on the service.

The first (and, so far, only) audiobook is, rather appropriately, Chris Anderson's Free: The Economics of Abundance and Why Zero Pricing Is Changing the Face of Business.

The book discusses the business model of giving away content and goods for free, and what effect it will have on the wider economy.

The audiobook, which runs to around three hours in total, is broken into 16 chapters, and is narrated by the author himself.

Spotify says it's using Free as a test to gauge interest in audiobooks. "This is the first audiobook we've ever included in our catalogue," the company claims on the Spotify blog. "We're going to trial it, see what people think and who knows, maybe this is the start of something new for us..."

Spotify users can listen to Chris Anderson's Free by clicking here.
