A coalition of music streaming companies, including Spotify and Deezer, represented by Digital Music Europe, has formally requested the European Commission to reject a new proposal by Apple concerning its App Store. The group argues that the proposal is discriminatory and compels competitors to adhere to a regime controlled by Apple, violating the Digital Markets Act. Spotify, which holds the largest share of the music streaming market in the EU, has rallied smaller services to support its complaint against Apple's dominance. Digital Music Europe expressed these concerns in a formal letter.
