Michal Marek Spotify is definitely not going to surrender after the arrival of Apple Music and intends to fight hard for its place in the sun. The proof is the novelty called "Discover Weekly", thanks to which the user gets a new playlist tailored to him every week. Personalized playlists are one of the functions that Apple Music boasts and presents as a great competitive advantage.
Every Monday, after opening Spotify, the user will find a new playlist that will contain about two hours of music that matches his taste. However, the playlist will only contain songs that the given user has not yet listened to on Spotify. It is supposed to be a pleasant mix of the most famous hits and almost unknown songs.
"The original vision when developing Discover Weekly was that we wanted to create something that felt like your best friend was putting together a weekly mix of songs for you to listen to," said Spotify's Matthew Ogle. He came to the Swedish company from Last.fm and his new role is to improve Spotify in the area of discovery and user customization. According to him, the new weekly playlists are just the beginning, and many more personalization-related innovations are still to come.
But it's not just weekly playlists that Spotify wants to beat Apple Music through. Runners are also an important clientele for the music service, and Spotify wants to get their headphones into their headphones, among other things, thanks to a partnership with Nike. The Nike+ Running running app now offers Spotify subscribers easy access to the service's entire music catalog, in a form that is intended to help sports performance.
Nike+ Running takes a naturally different approach to music than a classic music service. So it's not about picking a specific song and running. Your task is to choose the target pace of your run in Nike+ Running, and Spotify will then compile a mix of 100 songs to encourage you to this pace. A similar function is offered directly by Spotify, in which the item "Running" recently appeared. Here, however, the function works on the opposite principle, in such a way that the application measures your pace and the music then adapts to it.
If you use Nike+ Running and haven't tried Spotify yet, thanks to an agreement between these two companies, you can try running with music from Spotify in Nike+ for free for a week. If you are then willing to enter your payment card number into the application, you will be able to use Spotify Premium for another 60 days for free.
Above all, Spotify should do one major thing. And a reasonable family overpayment. With that, Apple music is still unbeatable.
That's exactly how I, as a customer, decide the price, I'll leave the rest of the features, but the price is a different matter, if they lower the price compared to Apple and then they'll see the noise
Great, just let them fight in the area who offers a better service, only we users will profit from it :-)
and lower the price by at least two dollars compared to Apple and then see how customers flock to them :-)
anyway, but I'm afraid that they will try to play more on quality and will compete to see who can give more music for the same price :-)
The customer is always interested in the price first, if it were two dollars cheaper, then of course I would take the cheaper one, the fact that it can't do this or this compared to Apple, so I don't care at all, it's enough that it could only play playlists in offline mode, the price two dollars cheaper and you don't need anything else, I also have YouRadio, which is a cheaper option compared to iTunes, but it doesn't have everything I listen to, but it's still enough
Don't know if it's possible to run with Nike + and play music from Apple Musci? In nike + running, I could not play anything that I have downloaded offline on apple music.
I enjoy the Czech whining for a lower price. On the contrary, I would make it more expensive, so that artists stop rambling and don't make waves by refusing to publish their albums
I can't find Discover Weekly, can you help me please?
