Music streaming doesn't have many real players. Spotify got in first, apple and google use their huge userbases to push their product and everyone else is irrelevant. If you wanted to make a new music streaming service you could never get anywhere close to big.

Spotify would probably be dead by now if Apple and Google didn't do such a poor job.




>Spotify got in first

Actually Rhapsody was the first. But I guess conditions at the time weren't such that it really went mainstream.
