Spotify Spotify just announced a partnership with Universal Music Group (UMG) to create a tool that lets fans make covers and remixes. It'll be a paid add-on for Premium subscribers, with some of that money going to the original artists whose work is being repurposed. Spotify says that artists have to opt in to the program.
