Spotify Announces 108 Million Premium Subscribers vs. Apple Music's 60 Million



Spotify announced financial results for Q2 2019 today revealing that it reached 108 million premium subscribers by June 30, 2019.

We finished Q2 with 108 million Premium Subscribers globally, up 31% Y/Y but below the midpoint of our guidance range of 107-110 million. Intake from our bi-annual campaign was in line with our expectations, monthly churn declined both sequentially and Y/Y to a record low 4.6%, and our winback percentage on gross ads reaccelerated Q/Q. However, intake into our Student product was below plan. As we have discussed previously, our goal is to perform at roughly the 70th percentile of our guidance range and we missed on subs. That’s on us. The good news is that the shortfall was execution related, rather than softness in the business, and we expect to make up the lost ground before year-end.

Spotify is expecting to have 110 - 114 million premium subscribers in Q3 and 120-125 million in Q4. For comparison, Apple Music had 60 million subscribers at the end of the June.

Has anyone ever installed MacOS on a ThinkPad T560?

I'm trying to dual boot my with windows, and I'm not quite sure if following the guides for the T460 is enough or if there are other config files that need to be changed.

If anyone has gotten Mojave or something similar on their T560 I'd really appreciate a few tips

DW1820a for laptop (yoga 730IWL)

I found a DW1820a for cheap on ebay (from HK but I'm not in a hurry to replace my wifi card, for now I can use wifi on windows and ethernet on macos with a dongle), my only doubt is that many sellers claim it not to be compatible with lenovo/hp laptops, is that true even on recent models like my 730 13 IWL? This one with bt 4.1 is the latest available for non macs, and there is no way of getting bt 5/160mhz wifi to work on a hackintosh, is that correct? My current one is a 9260 that supports both but I couldn't find any similiar for hackintoshes

Asrock Z390, 5 days later still no breaktrough

Mainboard: Asrock Z390 phantom gaming-itx BIOS 1.2 (tried also 1.6 with Asrock Patch) CPU: Intel i5-9600k RAM: 32GB 3000Mhz 2x16GB - Crucial Ballistix LT Sport GPU: Sapphinre RX 580 8GB Nitro (tried also only with iGPU) Wifi Modul: BCM94360CS2 Disk: Corsair NVME MP510 Force 500Gb (Tried also with sata Crucial MX300 500GB)

USB Stick Sandisk USB 3.0 32GB tried installation from USB 3.0 I/O port and Frontpanel USB 2.0 MacBook pro 13.3" for preparing usb Stick Mac OS Mojave 10.14.4 (Also tried with 10.14.6)

I installed to a second nvme Windows 10, where everything works like charm. Memtest was also done, so i think the hardware is okay.

I need your help, sorry to tell this but after 5 days of trying, ive got nothing to loose. The biggest problem seems to be random freezes during bootloader and installation.

I choose the Bios Settings from this thread https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/success-asrock-z390-phantom-gaming-itx-tb3-igpu-mojave-sff-build.277418/

Used Clover, Unibeast, changed BIOS, changed the memory fixes, nothing.

The biggest problem right now, are random freezes in the bootloader, if i make it, then sometimes it freezes in the disk utility. Once i got it running, got to next reboot phase and there i also got random freezes at 13minutes remaining or 3minutes remaining.

I would like to try a fresh start and step by step with you guys. Im allready there to pay someone for an running Asrock Z390 image.

So whats the base where i can fresh start of ?
