Spotify pulls the plug on live audio app.
Spotify is shutting down its standalone live audio app, Spotify Live, after a period of experimentation and learnings around how Spotify users interact with live audio. The company believes there is a future for live fan-creator interactions in the Spotify ecosystem, but it no longer makes sense as a standalone app. Spotify will continue to explore artist-focused use cases of 'listening parties' to facilitate live interactions between artists and fans.
