Spotify users in the US and UK can officially purchase physical books through the Android app. iOS users will get the feature next week.

During a tumultuous time for the ticketing industry, Spotify announced a yearlong partnership with the National Independent Venue Assn. that would help spotlight local venues' upcoming shows.

Spotify has been in the audiobook business for two years, now operating in 22 markets with 700,000 titles to listen to.

The controls can be used to choose an audio-first experience on the app or a video-enhanced one, Spotify says.

Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX | NFLX Price Prediction) reported first quarter earnings on April 16, while Spotify (NYSE:SPOT) last reported Q4 2025 results in February. Both are subscription-and-advertising businesses at turning points.

The year-long partnership will spotlight the best of independent live music venues and artists in the US directly through Spotify's app.

Record labels Sony, Universal, and Warner also win $22 million in a case filed after an anonymous group known as Anna's Archive scraped and posted the music streamer’s library last year.
