Spotify has announced that its active users have increased from 40 to 75 million and its paid subscribers have risen from 10 to 20 million over the last year.
Spotify is sticking to its guns, pushing the freemium, ad-paid model, while Universal wants to go in the direction of listeners having to be paid subscribers.
Warner Music Group said that last quarter, the company made more revenue from selling streaming subscriptions than it did from selling music downloads.
