Apple and Spotify, in particular, are thinking about how their platforms can dominate the car either through car maker partnerships or hardware, and so is Amazon, which will be critical if they want to eventually usurp radio. I’m mostly thinking about this in relation to the flurry of tech companies now creating and distributing radio station-like content - Apple Music, Sonos, Spotify, and, soon, Amazon. The app will also be optimized for the car, whatever that means. Amazon is looking to bring A-list talent on board to help launch the app, along with regular people to keep the programming constant, and the app will be interactive, particularly through Alexa. The other highlights from my piece: the app will simultaneously stream content to Twitch, Amazon Music, and Alexa-equipped devices. (I feel like I should have put a trigger warning on that sentence for some of you - sorry!) The app takes bits from Anchor and bits from Clubhouse - users can host DJ sets, like they would a radio show, and intersperse songs with talk. SCOOP: Amazon is building a top-secret live audio appĮarlier today, I published a story about Amazon’s work on a live audio app, codenamed Project Mic. I hope we can do it again soon! Anyway, today’s a busy one with a couple scoops and analyses. It was so nice to see people IRL and actually meet face to face. I hope everyone had a lovely weekend, and shout out to those of you who attended On The Verge. Hello, hello, and welcome back to the workweek.
