Hello and welcome back to Soundbite. This week we’re previewing what Spotify will announce at its Stream On event. As always, if you have something to share, send me a note through email.

Next month, at their Stream On event in Los Angeles, Spotify executives will announce the latest features and upgrades coming to the audio platform. Among other things, Spotify will have at least one major launch that was built with an eye toward improving discovery and attracting a younger demographic: a vertically swiped homepage.
