Competing with YouTube: Spotify will air original music-themed series but most video will consist of short snippets.

A senior editor for Billboard magazine called an agreement over royalties reached between Spotify and the National Music Publishers Association "a win" for songwriters and for the music streaming service. 

The parties announced the agreement on March 17, saying it would allow independent and major publishers to receive royalties for songs on Spotify where ownership information of the songs was not previously known.
