Rise of Music Streaming Service - Spotify1719842
Over the past decade we have noticed music streaming services in the industry rise tremendously. The concept of music streaming services is to bring you millions of songs, of all genres, for what ever situation you land yourself in. Streaming services have forced big players like iTunes to adhere to in their path or sadly get left behind. Streaming websites argue they are contributing positively to the industry with the underlying fact that music appears to be expanding once more. But like something else in this globe exactly where there is ups, sadly, there should be downs and for streaming websites this has definitely been the case, particularly over the last couple of year.
Music streaming sites in common all operate in similar methods. The majority allows consumers to use their service for free, with the downside of getting to listen to advertising in in between songs, but also have a paid version of the service, where you spend a set cost per month or year, and draw in small to no interruption. Streaming services, in short, have banks of music from a wide range of artists and genres exactly where customers are usually allowed to customize their personal profiles with any music they choose, create playlists of their own and use the services radio setting exactly where they curate songs for you. Before music streaming services started booming, paying a set cost for a single song on iTunes and uploading it on your device seemed to be the most traveled path. In today's age it is clear that streaming services are taking over, from movies to music, streaming appears to be the most efficient way of operating. There are many streaming services to choose from in our day and age, such as, Pandora, Google Music, Amazon Prime Music, Apple Music, etc. But I want to concentrate on the player that has impacted the industry the most, or so it seems, Spotify.
Spotify, founded by Daniel Ek and Martin Lorentzon, launched in 2008 in hopes of altering the way we listen to music forever. Along with most streaming services, Spotify enables you to search any artist, track, album, genre or playlist to find exactly what you are looking for. Spotify also enables you to "follow" your buddies and artists in the business to see what they're listening to. Spotify partnered up with Facebook where customers with Spotify accounts could choose an option exactly where the current songs they listened to would pop up on their Facebook profile. In my opinion this was Spotify's best decision as far as growing their service. Today, Spotify has 1,500 workers, 75+ millions users, music accessible in 50+ languages and is available in an application form on nearly each platform.
