Spotify and chat app Discord team up to make music more social

Spotify and Discord are teaming up to let users share music through the latter's chat app, the companies said Thursday.

Branching out: Discord's app was designed for video gamers to chat while playing, though people have been using it to discuss other interests as well. The partnership with Spotify will formalize the music-based usage that's organically been happening through the app, the company said.
