This makes Store apps more convenient for touchscreen use. Below is the desktop version:. You can see that like other Office apps, this has tabs along the Ribbon for all sorts of features. These include advanced tools like revision history, the ability to record video, and all sorts of tags, plus support for macros. The buttons are also close together, as you'd expect for something designed for a mouse. You can see how simple the interface is here compared to the desktop version. It has fewer tabs and buttons with icons that are spread further apart.
In addition, the Store version offers far fewer settings than its desktop counterpart. As mentioned earlier, this feels more like an app you'd use on your phone than a desktop program. It's perfectly suitable for quick use, but OneNote power users will find many features lacking. Check out a closer look at OneNote's version differences if you're interested in more. Let's quickly look at VLC, the popular media player, to see how its desktop and Store editions differ.
The desktop edition has a wealth of features you've come to expect from the program. Along the bottom bar, you can control the playback, including adjusting both audio and video effects. Desktop VLC supports subtitles, the ability to open media from sources like network streams, on-screen control customization, and a whole lot more. In comparison, the Store edition of VLC is much more streamlined.
You can change options, but only a handful compared to everything in the desktop version. It still offers support for subtitles and playback from network sources but doesn't let you customize the interface, play from a DVD or Blu-ray disc, or use a lot of VLC's other hidden tricks. You'll also notice that the buttons in this version are much larger, making them easier for touchscreen users.
As I was testing it, the Store version also froze up several times when trying to start a video. Aside from desktop app replacements, the Store contains many apps for web services. These include Pandora, Amazon, Netflix, Instagram, and others.
In some cases, these "apps" are simply a wrapper on a website such as Amazon. There's little reason to use these when you can just bookmark the site in your favorite browser. However, others offer unique features or better layouts. For example, while you can scroll through Instagram in a browser, you need to use the Instagram Store app to access your DMs.
You may also prefer to keep a desktop app for video services like Netflix and Hulu installed for easy access, especially if you often use your laptop in tablet mode.
Whether you should use a Store app or web app depends on your needs. Some people like having dedicated app s for services that they have open all the time, like Pandora, to cut down on browser tabs. Give both a try and see which you prefer. After looking at both kinds of apps, there's no clear winner between them. Most people will probably use a combination of both. Desktop apps offer superior functionality, but can have more confusing layouts.

Streaming has brought together two generations of listeners for heritage artists: those who were there at the time, and those who are discovering them for the first time. For both groups, streaming makes it easy to navigate extensive catalogs and get right to the songs that move them.
There are also novel ways for artists to reinvent and repackage their catalogs to invite fans to celebrate important moments anniversaries, milestones, new playlists. In the streaming era, heritage artists can generate perpetual and passive royalties well beyond a release cycle — rather than relying almost exclusively on first-month physical or download sales spikes, like in the past.

Dive deeper with these other useful resources about streaming from think tanks, academic scholars, economists, and industry groups, as well as our Spotify for Artists.

Our aim with this site is to provide a valuable foundation for a constructive conversation. Spotify plays a leading role in this healthier music industry — as a sort of radio station and record store all rolled into one, but without their limitations. With radio, artists can reach lots of listeners. And in some markets, not all talent is compensated for the music being played. Spotify solves these challenges with streaming. Since then, streaming has powered the resurgence of the music industry.
At this rate, we think that the music industry will surpass its peak in because of streaming royalties. Streaming has fundamentally changed the music ecosystem — lowering barriers to entry and democratizing access to audio for listeners across the world.

This money is not divvied up based on a fixed amount per stream, because Premium subscribers do not pay per stream; they pay a subscription fee for access. Every month, in each country we operate in, we calculate streamshare by adding up how many times music owned or controlled by a particular rights holder was streamed and dividing it by the total number of streams in that market. That total royalty pool for each country is based on the subscription and music advertising revenues in that market.
Spotify has been around for more than a decade. We now have over million listeners, streaming more songs per month than ever before, which means the activity on the platform increases exponentially. And streaming services pay based on streamshare , not a per-stream rate. In fact, , songs have now surpassed a million streams, and , songs received a million streams in alone. Over a hundred songs have even reached a billion streams.
