1. What do you know about Spotify?
I know it is the most used platform to stream music around the world, in fact it is the one that I use. Excuse me, I correct: I’ve just checked that the most used (with more users and trackers) is QQ Music, a chinese platform.
I also know that Spotify have also other audio contents like podcasts (that I love listening too) and audiobooks.
2. How can this new feature help songwriters in the future?
This help musicians who write songs to showcase their music, all gathered in a single list. It also helps them economically because allows Spotify to identify the songwriters and pay them for author’s rights.
3. Are streaming music services harming piracy more than they’re harming music sales?
Provided that Spotify pays fairly to the songwriters or authors/owners of the music, I think it is another way to sell their music, so it doesn’t harm sales.
4.What is the most unique feature that Spotify has?
I like the lyrics feature. I love the way they show the lyrics while I listen to the song.
5. What other music streaming applications do you enjoy using?
I used Deezer in the past, but now we use a family premium account so my children, my wife and me can enjoy all the music together.
