It will be interesting to see how Apple Music affects them. If you listen to a lot of new music, the cost of switching music services is pretty trivial (moving from Rhapsody to Rdio to Spotify has been a minimal hassle for me), and being able to call up any album with Siri is a powerful advantage. Fair or not, this is why Apple could report a vast advantage in map requests over the superior Google Maps.
I like Spotify a lot, but they look to have a weaker defensive position than Dropbox or Netflix to me. With minimal switching costs (search is the main interface even if you build up something of a "library") and undifferentiated content, it's really a commodity service.
- hanley 11y agoI've built a large list of artists that I follow in Spotify (so that I get notifications when they release new music), and an even larger list of albums saved to my library so that I can easily browse through music that I like. It seems like it would be a bit of a pain to switch to another provider, but I imagine it would still only take me an hour or two to setup all my follows and saves in another app. I'm eager to try out Apple Music once it comes to Android.
