Spotify .. Access to every music video on YouTube Music has always been a major selling point, despite all of its early shortcomings. However, with Spotify’s most recent statement, this benefit may soon evaporate. The massive Swedish streaming service has revealed that it will begin releasing music videos in beta for a few specific titles and areas.
