Apple To Win Unconditional EU Nod To Acquire Shazam

Apple is set to win unconditional European Union antitrust commision approval for its acquisition of popular music identification and discovery app Shazam, according to multiple sources.

Announced in December,  the deal will be a boost to Apple Music as it competes with Spotify.

It could also prove a problem for Spotify and other streamers if, as expected, Apple Music becomes the sole source of music and destination for music saving in the app.
