Uber and Spotify have announced a new partnership to help make Uber rides even better. If you have a Spotify premium account and your Uber ride is enabled with Spotify music through their vehicle’s sound system, you can select the music to stream during your ride or even remotely control selections during the ride. The fun starts when you request an Uber ride. Look for a music bar in the Uber app when you get matched with an Uber ride. If present, you can tap on the music bar and choose a song or playlist from your Spotify account. When your ride starts, the music will start up on its own.
To kick off the new partnership, Uber and Spotify are going to provide some artist ride-alongs and live sessions with artists Andrew W.K., The Sam Willows, Ximena Sariñana, Ansiktet, Professor Green, Diplo, Matt and Kim, Ricki Lee, Kevin Drew and Jake Owen. You will have to be in one of the ten cities where the service is rolling out to initially. These include London, Los Angeles, Mexico City, Nashville, New York, San Francisco, Singapore, Stockholm, Sydney and Toronto. Uber and Spotify say they will be rolling out to more cities in the future.
An update to the Uber app is rolling out starting today. Once you get the update, you have to connect your Spotify account. For Android users, Uber has not quite completed the work to control music through the Uber app, so you will have to jump over to your Spotify app to control things once your ride starts.
