How Spotify Came to Dominate the Music Industry

In their 15 years on the scene, Spotify has reshaped the way that people listen to music. A new book explores what the streaming company did to get so powerful, and how it is continuing to alter the music landscape, often in ways that disadvantage the artists it claims to support. Journalist Liz Pelly discusses the reporting from her book, Mood Machine: The Rise of Spotify and the Costs of the Perfect Playlist . Liz Pelly will be in conversation with WNYC's John Schaefer at the New York Public Library's Stavros Niarchos Foundation Library on March 11.
