Swedish music streaming service Spotify said
Wednesday the South Korean electronics giant Samsung would be first to
offer its music catalogue on its Smart TVs in Europe.
Spotify said it would offer customers an
application they could download for Samsung's Smart TVs in 12 European
countries, including Britain, Denmark, France, Germany, Spain and
Sweden.
Spotify's three non-European markets -- the US, Australia and New Zealand -- would not have access to the service.
"People no longer need to fuss about
connecting cables from their laptop or tablet to Hi-Fi equipment," said
Dan Saunders, director of content services for Samsung Electronics
Europe.
Founded in 2006 by Swedes Daniel Ek, then in
his twenties, and Martin Lorentzon, the service first launched in 2008
in Sweden and says it has since become the world's largest streaming
service.
It claims to have a catalogue of "more than
18 million songs", "more than 15 million active users and more than four
million paying customers."are you a music fan, please leave your comment below Retweet this story
