Music has been around for centuries. Its the life and breadth of culture and lifestyle throughout every generation. In today’s world, the way we listen to music is changing with wireless earphones to face recognition smartphones. Music platforms like SoundCloud, Pandora, and Spotify are expanding. As a Business major, I like to read up on current events every couple of weeks to stay updated with the current market. One thing that caught my attention is Spotify and how it recently released its IPO this week on Tuesday, April 3rd. I found it interesting to see how different this company is compared to other publicly traded companies. It’s crazy to see how this is one of the largest music streaming companies to go public besides Apple.

SoundCloud and Pandora are two well-known music streaming companies that serve as their competitor against Spotify. However, showing how Spotify was able to go public gives them a better overview of how much better they are doing compared to their competition. Out of the three companies, I use Spotify the most. I feel like a lot of streaming companies are in a battle for content nowadays. For example, Netflix and Hulu are both online streaming companies but they provide different shows and content to its customers. Content wins consumers and I feel like Spotify does a great job at this. Preference plays a huge role in deciding which music streaming service you use. I would recommend Spotify solely based on the music and content it provides. I am curious to know what others think and how their views may be different with other companies.
