Dr Dre's Compton to be on streaming services except Spotify.
Dr Dre's new album 'Compton' is due to be rolled out for all major streaming services that have a paid tier. The only exception is Spotify. All of Spotify's rivals will have Dr Dre's in demand Compton album to stream.
Quote:
COMPTON WILL SPREAD TO OTHER SERVICES, WITH ONE EXCEPTION
All streaming providers with premium tiers except Spotify will offer the Dre album. Rdio will have it after agreeing to premium-only. The album will not be available on any freemium service or tier.
Spotify has indicated it will not change its business model to make an album available only to paid subscribers—and the company certainly won’t make an exception for an album from an artist who’s also a high-ranking Apple exec. But what will Spotify do if Adele says no freemium?
