Spotify Tries to Lure Book Lovers
In this episode of Business Wars Daily, hosted by David Brown from Wondery, the focus is on Spotify's recent venture into the audiobook market. Initially famous for its music streaming services, Spotify began diversifying into podcasts in 2019 with significant acquisitions, and has now made a notable push into audiobooks. Last fall, Spotify launched an audiobook feature for its paid subscribers, offering access to 200,000 titles. This move, while broadening Spotify's content library, has sparked discussions about the fairness of its pricing and payment models, especially in comparison with Audible, its main competitor. The episode explores the challenges Spotify has faced, including industry pushback from publishers and authors, and the implications of its pricing structure. As Spotify rolls out its audiobook feature to more regions, it continues to navigate the complexities of competing in the digital content market.
