Iâd never seen anyone free dive, and the first day I sat on a boat watching a guy breathe up very heavily and then disappear for four minutes, then come back just gasping for air.

This is the best way to understand new music streaming services such as Spotify â as a form of social media. Through its integration with platforms like Facebook, Spotify mixes the personal with the social. The lines between individual and social engagements with music are not clear-cut. We use music to identify and announce particular tastes, values and messages.
Music can be browsed or searched by artist, album, genre, playlist, and record label. Spotify was launched in September 2008 by Swedish startup Spotify AB. As of August 2016, Spotify had more than 100 million active users and about half a billion registered users. As of September 2016, Spotify has 40 million paying subscribers worldwide, up from 30 million paying subscribers in March 2016.
