Spotify

Spotify, founded in 2006 by Daniel Ek and Martin Lorentzon, is a Swedish company that offers music streaming and other media services. With over 515 million monthly active users and 210 million paid customers as of March 2023, it is one of the leading music streaming service providers. Through Spotify Technology S.A. a Luxembourg City-based holding company, American depositary receipts for Spotify stock are traded on the New York Stock Exchange.

Spotify provides access to over 100 million songs and 5 million podcasts from record labels and media firms that are protected by digital copyright. As a freemium service, you can use the core functionality without paying anything, but you'll have to put up with ads and have fewer customization options. Users can do artist, album, and genre-based searches, as well as make, modify, and share custom playlists.

Spotify is accessible in 184 different countries and territories in Europe, Africa, the Americas, Asia, and Oceania.[9] Approximately 53% of its consumers and 67% of its earnings come from the United States and Europe.[10] It is completely absent from mainland China, where QQ Music has cornered the market. Access the service on your computer (Windows, macOS, or Linux), mobile device (iOS or Android), smart home device (Amazon Echo, Google Nest), or digital media player (Roku, etc.).
