Jay Z pulls music from Spotify

[Booster MPS]

In general I think streaming services that try to differentiate themselves based upon exclusive catalogues takes us in the wrong direction.  I don't want that to be the reason I choose either Spotify or Tidal. They should sell me on the quality of their service, user interface, platform, and music discovery.  I listen to a lot of different genres so if they all become fragmented, then it does not help me make a choice.  It is a net loss.

I work with a large variety of clients in supplying A/V systems along with home automation and by FAR the number one service (besides actual radio broadcasts) is Pandora.  Apple Music is making inroads and certainly Spotify has come into the public eye through news and their sheer will at being embedded in practically every A/V product that is currently being manufactured. Trust me, people want the radio experience. You would not believe how many people don't even know that internet radio is available to them and when shown that and then introduced to Pandora, a service that you can curate (more or less) your own station according to your tastes they are in ecstasy. 

 

It really does not resonate with audiophiles, but a lot of people simply "want some music on in the background" and Pandora more than meets that need.  It's not about listening.
