These two giants have found themselves in the crosshairs of Amazon Music Unlimited, which aims to steal some market share with its enticing music offering, given the company's vast reach in multimedia content of all kinds.
Spotify continues its expansion, now scoring another small victory with the inclusion of the Gear S2 and Gear S3, allowing users to control all their favorite music from this Samsung wearable. Starting today, if you own one of these two smartwatches, you can have all your music right on your wrist.
