Seeking partnerships: Spotify is making its catalogue of more than 30 million songs available on select Virgin America flights with WiFi in an attempt to win over more subscribers.
LOS ANGELES: A prickly new front just opened up in the war over streaming music: Spotify is complaining that Apple rejected the latest update to Spotify's app, alleging that the tech behemoth is trying to force the company to use Apple's own billing system to sell subscriptions.
In the wake of the Apple rejection of the iOS update, Spotify has reached out to members of Congress to share its position on the situation and a letter the company sent to Apple's legal department earlier this week about the standoff, hoping that lawmakers will step in to level the playing field, Variety has confirmed. Recode first reported the development.
