For many years, Apple has offered video content on iTunes such as movies and series. When they launched Apple MusicConsidering how long they had been interacting with record companies, it came as no surprise that they also allowed us to watch music videos. The latest studies ensure that there are already more than 10 million subscribers to the music service in streaming Apple, which has allowed the Cupertino to achieve in six months what Spotify it took him six years to get.
With all of the above, one thing seems clear: Spotify must do something to remain the music service in streaming most used on the planet if you don't want another service, like Apple Music, to take this crown from you and that could be why they have launched a video service which is now available from the iOS and Android mobile applications. But the million-euro question is, will we have it available in countries like Spain?
Spotify begins broadcasting videos in the United States
Apparently, and we have already experienced this situation many times with the different Apple releases, the videos are only available in some areas. Spotify has agreements with ESPN, Comedy Central, MTV, BBC, Vice News, Slate, and other media, but unsurprisingly, these agreements are only valid in the countries where they were signed. In my case, with a Spanish account, I have tried to access the videos as they say in some English-speaking media, which is by entering the search section and then in Shows, but I have not been able to see the "Video Shows" and "Audio Shows" to which they refer, so it seems that we will have to wait, perhaps, several months (or years).
In any case, those who have tried it say that not that it's worth much, at least until they add better content. New Spotify videos should be seen as an addition to what is your core business, which is the music service in streaming. If you have been able to see them, what did you think?
