Music Streaming: Spotify Offers New Apps for Discovery and Organizing

  • Spotify has added 12 new tools to its app approach to music streaming, including: TweetVine, Def Jam, Filtr, Digster, Classify, Hot or Not, Domino and more.
  • According to Digital Trends, Spotify “now has more than 10 million active users and over three million paying subscribers.”
  • “For all its faults (and it isn’t faultless), the service is capitalizing on its idea of being ‘the OS of music,’ and consumers are liking it,” indicates the post.
  • The majority of the new apps address music search and discovery, tour dates, new releases, curated playlists, other related data and social interaction. Digital Trends provides a brief description of each app.
  • Competition in this space has seen numerous changes of late, more of which is expected to play out this year. “We think there’s room to grow — and we think there’s room for multiple services,” Rdio CEO Drew Larner recently explained in an interview. “It’s inevitable we’re going to see a shakeout, probably in the next 12 to 16 months. There’s going to be some consolidation.”
