Welcome to Industry Focus, the podcast that dives into a different sector of the stock market every day.

It's Friday, March 9th, and we're talking Spotify.

I'm your host, Dylan Lewis, and I'm joined on Skype by senior tech specialist

Evan New. Evan I think this is going to be a good one. Not only is this a hotly

anticipated stock listing but this is a company that we both know pretty well.

Yeah, it's been a busy couple weeks, all these IPO filings.

I think the Spotify one's going to be a little bit more interesting than the Dropbox one.

I'm a Spotify user. I think you are a Spotify user as well, right? I am. I actually recently switched to Spotify. I switched my entire family from away from Apple Music to Spotify, which is notable because I'm a big apple guy so I have Apple everything

But it'll you know very specifically we started buying you know Amazon echo devices and started getting some more these you know Alexa devices and

Apple music's just not supported and Spotify is and so that really was kind of the

catalyst for us to switch but we're pretty happy with it.

And I think with me being an individual account user

and you having a family plan and me formerly

having been a free user of Spotify,

we kind of cover all the basis

for different user types that this company has.

So this is a company we know well.

They're the leader in the music streaming space.

We probably have some listeners that are not super familiar with them though.

What does their service look like?

The big difference between Pandora and Spotify historically was that Pandora wasn't on demand.
