Welcome back and happy Friday! It’s been another busy week for the streaming music behemoth as opinion and analysis continues to roll in about the mega Joe Rogan - Spotify podcast deal that shook up last week’s news cycle. Let’s dive in! 😎
★ In the SPOTlight:
⭐️ The podcasting world is now Spotify versus everybody else
There’s never been a single podcasting company that sells ads, makes shows, has an already-popular podcast player, and offers the tools to make new series. Spotify now has all of that, and the Rogan deal means it also offers a hit show that guarantees millions of people will regularly use its platform for podcast listening.
The deal also, however, might foreshadow a future for the broader podcasting industry in which two sects develop: one that values privacy and an open ecosystem and another that’s closed-off and built around locked-down shows and targeted ads, like Spotify.
⭐️ Spotify finally removes its 10,000-song library limit
Spotify has finally removed its 10,000-song cap on library sizes, allowing users to add as much music as they’d like to their personal libraries without any limits at all, fixing a problem that has plagued music-lovers on the service for years. While Spotify has more than 50 million songs available to customers to stream at any time, until today, there was a hard limit of 10,000 songs that users could save to their own “Your Music” collections on Spotify for easy access.
