The battle for muziekstreamer is going to erupt
They all try to snack on Spotify's market share. But does that work if they all the same? Distinction is very important and there is a number of services currently.
Running on beats by Tiësto Spotify, which allows streaming a product for the mass was, came to Netherlands in 2010. The platform quickly won popularity. Recently the company announced to its strategy. Spotify would also offer videos and podcasts. In addition, the company together with dj Tiësto special running music, hoping to stay in control and criticism of the competition to shake off.
Because criticism is sure. Artists say they get little money and music labels have reportedly questioned the free version of Spotify. The tension ran on when pop star Taylor Swift last summer in an article by The Wall Street Journal announced her music of the platform to go off. It did not for an exodus of artists, but gave a message: we are dissatisfied.
An uncomfortable intended
That message was trying to use a new streaming service: Tidal. The service was created by a number of wealthy artists.
They were together in March somewhat uncomfortable on stage to announce the service. Tidal must by and for artists. They complain bitterly about the way they are treated by Spotify for example.
But who wants to pay money for a service of artists who possess all three houses and the rest of their lives no longer have to Act (at least, not for the money)? Or they have been silent on that question is not known, we do know that they wanted to offer exclusive music on Tidal; hoping to draw users to the platform. What up to now not really seems to succeed.
Loyal fans it will be less difficult to Apple users to its new streaming service. With more than 170 billion dollars in cash, the company can provide a nice marketing campaign. In addition, the company has a large number of loyal fans, supposedly without cans or to blush will switch.
But that's not the masses. An attempt to the service to offer cheaper-and thus more attractive-than Spotify failed, wrote The New York Times in March.
Many also seem the music labels. According to news agency Bloomberg in recent days were the labels still busy with Apple in conversation, under about the percentage that they received. That would be quite higher than on iTunes, where 70 percent and Apple 30, thinks the Financial Times.
