Uber and Spotify launch car music playlist partnership

People with premium Spotify accounts will be able to listen to their own music in cars booked through Uber, the firms have announced.

The partnership means that users will be able to link their two accounts within the Uber app and build music playlists for their journeys.

The service will launch in 10 cities around the world on Friday 21 November, including London, Singapore and Sydney.

Drivers can choose whether to take part, Uber said.

Unlike a traditional minicab firm, Uber has no human operators taking bookings.

Instead, customers request a lift through an app, and the process is completely automated by software, which allocates the booking to the driver best placed to take it on.

Spotify is an on-demand song service, which allows premium members to stream selected tracks over the internet without adverts if they pay a monthly fee.・・・

To offer the new facility, drivers will need to connect their Uber phone to their car's entertainment system, said Travis Kalanick, chief executive of Uber.

The option to choose music will only appear on the app when a car that is "Spotify-enabled" is booked, he explained.

The driver will retain control over the volume.

"If we see tension points those are things we will work into the experience and handle in an elegant way," Mr Kalanick said.

"For Uber it's the first time we've personalised the experience inside the car. For music lovers that's nirvana - it's a really awesome place to be."・・・・
