Over the previous decade we have noticed music streaming services in the business rise tremendously. The concept of music streaming services is to bring you millions of songs, of all genres, for whatever scenario you land yourself in. Streaming services have forced big players like iTunes to adhere to in their path or sadly get left behind. Streaming web sites argue they are contributing positively to the business with the underlying reality that music seems to be expanding again. But like something else in this world where there is ups, unfortunately, there must be downs and for streaming web sites this has definitely been the case, particularly over the last couple of year.

Music streaming websites in common all operate in similar ways. The majority enables customers 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, exactly where you pay a set price per month or year, and draw in small to no interruption. Streaming services, in short, have banks of music from a wide variety of artists and genres where clients are usually allowed to customize their personal profiles with any music they choose, produce playlists of their personal and use the services radio setting where they curate songs for you. Before music streaming services started booming, paying a set price 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 films to music, streaming appears to be the most effective 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 business the most, or so it seems, Spotify.

Spotify, founded by Daniel Ek and Martin Lorentzon, launched in 2008 in hopes of changing 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 allows you to "follow" your buddies and artists in the industry to see what they are listening to. Spotify partnered up with Facebook exactly where users 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 choice as far as expanding their service. These days, Spotify has 1,500 employees, 75+ millions users, music available in 50+ languages and is available in an application type on almost each platform.
