The launch of the HomePod may have been the touch that Spotify lacked to decide once and for all to launch a speaker to be able to enjoy your music streaming service. In fact, early last year Spotify posted a job posting hinting at the company's interest in developing a hardware product.
But it seems that now if it is clear, the Swedish firm has expanded the number of jobs you are looking for the manufacture of some hardware product, since in addition to an operations director, you are looking for a senior product director and a product manager.
The movement of Spotify is not surprising, in fact according to some leaks, it had been behind this idea for a long time, but it seems that the launch of the HomePod, along with the Google Home Max have been more than enough reasons to motivate the development of this speaker, a speaker that could meet the needs that many users may have when enjoying their favorite music. What's more, not being limited to any platform, it could probably be more successful than the HomePod.
Yes, must have features that can motivate users to purchase this future speaker, since the solutions offered by Sonos and other speakers with Spotify integrated are really good, unless the Swedish company's plans stop allowing the use of its service through this type of device, something that already it happened recently after updating your API. In addition, it would have to offer a sound quality equal to or even higher than that offered by both the HomePod and the Sonos, the main references on the market.
