Title: Spotify might severely limit free streaming, report says Post by: HCK on August 13, 2015, 03:00:13 am Spotify might severely limit free streaming, report says
<article> <section class="page"> <p> Spotify could soon switch to a new content model, under which only paying subscribers will have access to certain sections of its vast catalog. According to a Digital Music News (http://www.digitalmusicnews.com/2015/08/08/spotify-preparing-to-offer-premium-only-content-sources-say/&ei=TQ8CzNGb&lc=en-IN&s=1&m=723&ts=1439314614&sig=APONPFmLQn9eCGKAorY3TrhF4AnbNfNIaA) report citing unnamed sources, the streaming-music service is most likely to make the change sometime early next year.</p><p> But the sources warn that the modalities have yet to be worked out, and a number of different plans are currently under consideration. Apparently, the streaming-music giant is deliberating whether to make entire albums inaccessible to non-paying users, or to have a system where they’re still able to access some songs from a particular album. Time-limited exclusivity is also an option. The report suggests the final implementation could even be a combination of the above approaches.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2969301/streaming-services/spotify-might-severely-limit-free-streaming-report-says.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article> Source: Spotify might severely limit free streaming, report says (http://www.macworld.com/article/2969301/streaming-services/spotify-might-severely-limit-free-streaming-report-says.html#tk.rss_all) |
