苹果音乐不敌Spotify声田

Apple Inc on Thursday confirmed than the company's streaming music service has more than 60 million subscribers, trailing rival Spotify Technology SA's 100 million premium subscribers.

其流媒体音乐服务拥有逾6,000万订阅者，落后于竞争对手Spotify——声田科技的1亿优质用户。

A company spokesman confirmed the figure that Eddy Cue, senior vice president of services for the iPhone maker, disclosed in remarks made to French publication Numerama in Paris. Apple executives had not disclosed a new number since May 2018, when the company said it had 50 million Apple Music subscribers.

一位公司发言人证实了这一数字，这家iPhone制造商的服务高级副总裁Eddy Cue在巴黎对法国出版物Numerama发表的评论中披露了这一数字。自2018年5月以来，苹果高管一直没有透露新的数字，当时该公司称其拥有5000万苹果音乐用户。

The 60 million figure includes Apple customers who are on a free trial of Apple Music.

这6000万用户中包括免费试用苹果音乐的苹果用户。

In April, Spotify reported it has 100 million "premium" subscribers. Spotify's definition of premium subscribers also includes those on free trials of its paid service so long as the user has entered a payment method such as a credit card.

今年4月，Spotify称其拥有1亿“优质”用户。Spotify对优质用户的定义还包括那些免费试用其付费服务的用户，只要用户输入信用卡等支付方式。

When including listeners to its ad-supported service, Spotify has 217 million users. Apple and Spotify are locked in an antitrust dispute after Spotify filed a complaint with European regulators in March.

如果将听众纳入Spotify的广告支持服务，Spotify拥有2.17亿用户。今年3月，Spotify向欧洲监管机构提起诉讼后，苹果和Spotify陷入了一场反垄断纠纷。
