The latest in a string of high – profile  acquisitions by music streaming service Spotify  is Soundtrap , a Swedish startup that provides users a cloud- based  audio workstation.  Soundtrap lets users collaborate on music projects in real time ,including recording.  Soundtrap has an app suite on Android and iOS , besides a desktop version.  Spotify has been acquiring companies since the early part of 2016, and had notably been in talks to buy soundcloud ,though the talks ultimately fell through.

“ The essence of Soundtrap is to give easy -to- use , collaborative ,music-making  capabilities to anyone with an electronic device and a passion for music,” Soundtrap said in a blog post .”  This is a perfect fit because Spotify has also helped  democratize music by helping millions of artistes connect with millions of fans , while helping listeners discover their favourite new artistes”.
