Spotify may have been bought by microsoft

Spotify is currently the best-known streaming music service for most. It is the most popular in all of Europe and is growing at a good rate worldwide. Although its evolution in the market could have been very different. Since it has been known that Microsoft had plans to buy the company in its day. Something that surely could have changed the fate of the platform.

Spotify may have been bought by Microsoft

It has been known thanks to a book on the history of the streaming firm, which was released this week in Sweden. Thanks to it, certain details have come to light.

Microsoft interest

Not much is known about when Microsoft had plans or interest in buying Spotify. No dates or too many details have been given in this story. Although it must be remembered that the two companies have collaborated on several occasions in the past, especially when the American firm sought to promote Groove Music with better integration with the Swedish platform.

Another detail of interest in the book is that the firm initially had plans to enter the market for streaming videos and series, to compete with Netflix. In fact, they even created a format designed to allow free streaming and even plans to launch a device like Fire TV.

It is certainly interesting to see how the company has evolved over the years and what Spotify could have been if they had entered these segments or had been purchased by Microsoft. The book is released in Sweden, but we don't know anything about its possible international release.
