SPOTIFY Ltd has held talks with potential content partners to add podcasts to its music-streaming service, challenging Apple Inc in a business it dominates, according to people briefed on the matter.

Spotify, which hosts some podcast-like audio such as Spanish lessons along with millions of songs, plans to add more non-music programming, according to the people, who weren't authorised to speak publicly and asked not to be identified.
