Until the Swedish company Spotify, has not gone public, we have not seen in such a short time so much news related to the world's leading music streaming service. On April 24, the Swedish company has scheduled an event in which it will present, almost certainly, a new independent device to be able to listen to music in the car, without the need for our smartphone.

But it seems that it will not be the only novelty, since in the last hours, a lot is being said about the possibility that Spotify presents a new application for mobile devices Through which we would have greater access to all the content that the company has been adding in recent months. But it is not the only movement, since in addition, the head of R&B and Hip-Hop of Apple Music has left in the direction of Spotify.
