@manton This is great. Apple’s rules about communication & linking have always been a terrible idea. Hoping to see this get some traction.

Love the not-so-subtle “play fair / fairplay” jab, too.

@brian Oh, I actually missed the "fairplay" reference until you mentioned it. Nice catch. So probably just the right amount of subtle. 🙂

@manton Everything Spotify are hitting Apple with has been spoken about amongst even the Apple loyalist crowd. This is another PR fail under Tim Cook, brought about mostly by Apple's own incompetence at delivering on one of the most important aspects of their philosophy; software first.

I am not remotely interested in an Apple streaming service, an Apple Watch, an iPhone the size of a brick, or even worse a broken keyboard on a multi-thousand pound laptop. However, an Apple ecosystem that actually works well across devices and is continuously maintained with their best efforts? Yep, I'd buy-in on that.

@frostedechoes Yeah, I wish Spotify hadn't included the complaints about the Watch. That's kind of a distraction from their (more important) core argument about price and competition.
