Why you should sign up for Paramount Plus

Paramount Plus is home to a massive library of movies, shows, and platform exclusives, with the collection made up of Paramount and CBS titles, as well as Comedy Central, MTV, and Nickelodeon. You’ll be able to download the Paramount Plus app on just about any mobile device, smart TV, or streaming device, and football fans are in for a treat: Not only will you be able to stream your local team’s game every week, but you’ll also be able to tune in for the NFL on the CBS 4:25 live window.

Paramount Plus hosts other sports content too, including American basketball, cricket, golf, and soccer. While the Essential plan grants you access to a lot of Paramount Plus content, the Paramount+ with Showtime subscription gives you additional benefits; including access to Paramount Plus’s entire library, ad-free playback, and offline downloads for mobile devices. Both the Essential and Showtime plans also come with one free week of service.

Paramount Plus will allow you to cancel your subscription at any time, and there are no hidden fees built into your monthly or annual billing. If you’ve been thinking of expanding your streaming media net, there’s never been a better time to sign up for something new. Save 50% on a new Paramount Plus subscription when you sign up before September 6.

Spotify is rolling out a new AI-powered conversational feature that lets Premium users talk directly to the app about what they want to hear. Users can type or speak a request and refine the results through follow-up questions instead of manually searching for a song, podcast, or audiobook.

The feature is available from Spotify’s Home and Now Playing screens and works much like a personal audio assistant. It can choose what plays, answer questions about the current track or album, recommend something new, and look through your listening history to provide more personalized responses.
