their free version wasn't particularly horrendous the last time I tried. I clicked play on a playlist and got an ad every maybe 3-5 songs and the ads were usually around 30 seconds. although my main issue is that they only had the same 2-3 ads to play for me throughout the weeks I used the free version so that got annoying. as someone on the internet once said, it's good that no-one at Spotify realised that people would buy the subscription much faster if it was a crying baby soundbite playing every time instead of an advertisement
