Spotify expands to include video and predictive playlists

New York

SPOTIFY now wants to help you jog, watch videos and catch up on podcasts, all in addition to listening to music - a move that will put the company into competition with Apple, YouTube and other technology outlets.

Spotify, which has come to dominate the world of subscription streaming music services, announced a series of changes to its mobile app on Wednesday, moving into new realms of media distribution just ahead of the expected arrival of a competing service from Apple.
