Spotify, the streaming music service, has made its first move into the competitive world of in-car entertainment by adapting its mobile app for Ford’s Sync AppLink system. The system lets drivers operate their mobile apps through voice commands. The companies will announce the development on Monday at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain.
Companies like Spotify, which has 20 million users and is available in 23 countries, are eager to embed their services in a range of devices to keep handy throughout a user’s day. In addition to its desktop and mobile versions, Spotify is also available — for subscribers to its premium service, at about $10 a month — on Roku set-top boxes, Onkyo stereo components, Sonos speaker systems and other electronics.
