Starbucks adds Spotify music discovery to its app

Spotify users with the music streamer's free or premium service will now find playlists from Starbucks on the Spotify app, along with some of the most popular songs from the coffee retailer over the last 20 years. Spotify offers a free, ad-supported service and a premium service that costs $9.99 a month. The latter offers features not available with the free service such as the ability to play music offline.
