I am betting Microsoft got some kind of deal with Spotify out of this. Spotify had an exclusivity agreement with Sony that kept the Spotify app off the Xbox One; that agreement lapsed and Spotify is on the Xbox One now. I would not be surprised if that and other things were in a deal between the two firms.

Alternatively, MSFT is interested in buying Spotify. They have purchased Swedish companies before..

  That would actually be a really cool partnership. * Add OneDrive integration to seemlessly play your music with Spotify. * "Check out this song" Skype integration to share music with each other. Have a Playlist populated from all the songs you've shared with each other. * "Make your highlights epic" easily add the perfect track to your Rocket League snippets. * "What was that song?" Bing integration to play directly from search results. Subscribers get the while track, otherwise get a 1m preview. * "Cortana, drop the base!"

    Maybe make it have one click to play the song, live, in a Skype chat. Instead of listening later, it can be easily shared together. You should email 'em.
