Spotify adds music videos for Premium users in a handful of countries

A promo image for music videos on Spotify.

Spotify today announced that it's bringing music videos (ask your parents, kids) to the streaming music service. With some caveats, however.

First is that this is somehow all in "beta," though it's not exactly clear what that means. It's not like music videos are new. Or streaming video is new. It could be that the catalog of music videos is said to be "limited," so maybe Spotify is just testing the waters before it spends more money on more music videos. But Spotify says you'll be able to watch vids from artists like Ed Sheeran, Doja Cat, and Ice Spice, among others. Spotify does say "In this beta launch, we’ll continue to innovate and iterate based on feedback from both users and artists."
