Listening to all of your favorite tunes and podcasts ad-free on Spotify sounds pretty great. Paying a monthly fee for Spotify Premium? Not so much. While there is no way to use Spotify Premium for free without eventually paying for a membership, the 30-day free trial should give you enough time to determine whether or not you want to pay for Spotify. Keep in mind that in order to use the Spotify Premium free trial, you'll need a Spotify account which hasn't yet used the free Premium membership; additionally, you cannot sign up for Premium using the Spotify desktop program or the iPhone version of the Spotify app.
