    Spotify's direct uploads for artists weren't as convenient as they seemed -- there wasn't much point to using it when musicians typically want to upload to many services. The streaming giant is well aware of this, at least. The company has formed a partnership with the startup DistroKid that will help artists put their music on "other platforms" when they upload to Spotify. Details are coming "soon," but this suggests a band could put its hot new single on Spotify and promptly spread it to competing services like Apple Music and Tidal.
