Spotify has been named the go-to music service provider for Samsung. Under the terms of a new arrangement, Samsung users will have seamless transitions when listening to Spotify on different devices. The deal covers listening on a range of Samsung’s hardware, from smartphones to smart televisions. It also means that Spotify will be prioritized in uses with Bixby, Samsung’s voice assistant platform.
