When Spotify is learned of that Apple was going to launch a service of music in streaming said that not you worried in absolute. In fact, the service King of the music in streaming has right now with more users that never, something to which has contributed Apple Music, the service that launched them of Cupertino now makes something more than one year. But this could change if the negotiations between Spotify and the record does not change of address.
The problem is that the negotiations between Spotify and the major record labels three will not on the right track. The reason main is Apple Music, a service that pays somewhat by one hundred more high that any service of the competition and that, logically, called the attention of them record, who can finish decanting is by the service of Apple whenever has that launch content in exclusive.
Spotify want to pay to them recording a 5% less
Apple Music is paying about 58% of the benefits to the record after three free months offering the service of Apple. The most important record three, Sony, Universal Music Group and Warner Music Group, want to Spotify even Apple offer, but the veteran music streaming service seems to disagree.
To monetize its service, Spotify want to get 55% pays the labels to 50%, which would be 8% less of what offers Apple Music. On the other hand, you also want to get exclusive with artists, but this will not be an easy task if we bear in mind that 8% of difference.
In any case, although the negotiations between Spotify and them record not pass by a good time, both parts is kept optimistic, what it more likely is that complete with the service of music in streaming matching the offer of Apple. The downside for the Swedish company is, if it does, you return your service much less than I expected.
