In Starbucks I see promotions for Spotify. I thought it was some music
DL service, but I really don't know what it is.

it's one of several music streaming services.

spotify has been trying to get around the app store rules long before
there was an apple music service.

³Our guidelines apply equally to all app developers, whether they are
game developers, e-book sellers, video-streaming services or digital
music distributors; and regardless of whether or not they compete
against Apple. We did not alter our behavior or our rules when we
introduced our own music streaming service or when Spotify became a
competitor,² Sewell explains. ³Ironically, it is now Spotify that
wants things to be different by asking for preferential treatment
from Apple.²

Music service? I thought Spotify was an acne medicine.


Naah! "Spotify" is a Shakespearean exclamation aimed at a dalmatian.

Not a new Photoshop tool to remove dust spots from PeterN's sky?


That is the basis for the next "Mission Impossible" movie.

YEAH! And you are just SO ****ED that you sold all your APPL shares that

Bzzzzt! I once bought a Dalmatian puppy. They're born without spots.
The vet said that if I wanted to register the dog with the AKC I would
have to apply Spotify® for two weeks to bring out the spots.

Thanks. I have only one streaming music service, Sirius, and it
satisfies my needs. Plus it is free because I have the full subscription
in my car.
I know there are other free streaming music services out there, but this
is working for me, as long as they stay in business.
