Numbers like 25,000 and even 60,000 have been tossed round. But 100,000?<\/p>\n<p>To be truthful, neither man was speaking about 100,000 distinctive and completely different songs. This quantity contains all of the remixes, edits, alternate variations, reside performances, particular mixes (Dolby ATMOS\/high-res\/Spatial Audio, and many others.), and the odd duplicate. But it\u2019s nonetheless lots. Apple Music, Amazon Prime Music, and YouTube Music all say they&#8217;ve no less than 100 million tracks obtainable. Spotify may very well be at that stage, too, however the latest official quantity I\u2019ve seen for his or her library is 82 million.<\/p>\n<p>To put that into perspective, even the largest file retailer again within the olden days (i.e. pre-Internet) stocked 100,000 titles at most.
