Gerry Smith, Bloomberg:
New York Times Co., looking for ways to persuade readers to pay for news, is working with Spotify Ltd. to give new digital subscribers to the newspaper free access to the world’s largest music-streaming service.
Readers who buy one-year online subscriptions to the Times will also get unlimited access to Spotify’s premium service, which costs $120 annually, the companies said Wednesday.
And:
The news-and-music subscription costs $5 a week, a 20 percent discount on the retail price for an all-access digital subscription to the Times.
A solid deal, if you want the All Access Times subscription, which includes insider access (special features) as well as a bonus subscription you can share with a friend. If you just want the regular digital access, you are better off finding the 50% discount offer on the web and subscribing to Spotify (or Apple Music) separately.
Either way, subscribe to some source of real news. Keep the news sites alive.
And yes, the New York Times is real news.
Gads. I was interested, but the link is autoplay enabled.
NYT you want the leftist POV virtually exclusively. Gotta be more balance somewhere.
auto play for the loss
Everyone has finally realized that music streaming is a commodity, and it isn’t a great standalone business. That’s why Amazon’s music service is bundled with prime, Google’s is bundled with YouTube Red, Spotify’s is now bundled with the Times, and we’ve heard rumors that Apple will be bundling their service with original video content.
Meh, Spotify is not compelling enough for me. Also, I still haven’t forgiven them for trying to access my personal photos, contacts, etc., even though the CEO confirmed later this info would be used by permission only. AM is good enough for the playlist/ a la carte song listen. I don’t need two services for this. Now, if Pandora could offer a custom playlist and a la carte download for disconnected play, then I could go for that and kick AM to the curb.
US only, as usual, sigh…
I pay $10 per month for the digital only subscription with an education discount.
Leftist? Well, we know who this comment describes.
You can thank the stupidity of copyright mismanagement in the age of greed.
does NYT need to hire someone who can somehow spin a Trump travel ban into a “Obama did it also” story?
