Spotify Questions

I like the free version and understand its limitations. There is also ample discussion online regarding the premium version. My questions are about spotify unlimited ....

Is it just for mobile devices ? No desktop integration ?
And is it commercial free?
Skipping song limitations ?

Spotify has charts that purport to explain but are confusing to me

Is it just for mobile devices?

No. It has travel access that basic does not, but limited access on mobile phones. I'm not sure how it's limited. My guess is that the mobile version has ads, song-limits or both.

No desktop integration?

It has a computer integration.

Is it commercial free?

Yes.

Skipping song limitations?

No.

What it does not have that premium does is:
Full mobile access...the premium phone app is unrestricted and works the same as the computer app.
Offline mode...it doesn't have to be connected to the internet to work.
Enhanced sound quality...Spotify basic and unlimited are both CD quality. Premium is HD-audio.
Exclusive content available to Premium users.

That helps a lot I feel a bit of loyalty to spotify because they put true unknown indie bands such as mine on their site without hassle. Unlike pandora which has capricious gatekeeping. Who knows how they decide you gets on? It certainly is not talent based
