Interview with Daniel Ek of Spotify

SpotifyHenrik Torstensson has posted a great blog post regarding a very thorough interview with Spotify’s Daniel Ek. The interview is well over one hour long and split into eight, approximately 10 minute-videos. The interview itself was done in one of the GlassHouse London events around music.

Have a look at the videos for more insight – these are a great catch for everyone who is hoping to understand more of the business thinking behind Spotify.
