You can listen to Spotify on a wide range of devices, including computers, phones, tablets, smart speakers, TVs, cars, and even smartwatches, using apps, web browsers, or through connections like Bluetooth, Spotify Connect, and more. As of late 2024, Spotify has over 675 million monthly active users, including 263 million premium subscribers, making it the world's largest audio streaming service. Spotify was founded in 2006 in Stockholm, Sweden, by Daniel Ek, former CTO of Stardoll, and Martin Lorentzon, co-founder of Tradedoubler. According to Ek, the company's title was initially misheard from a name shouted by Lorentzon. Later they conceived a portmanteau of "spot" and "identify".
