Looks like Spotify doesn’t just want to stick with software. A new job listing on the company's website shows that they're looking to build "a category defining product akin to Pebble Watch, Amazon Echo, and Spectacles" designed to "affect the way the world experiences music and talk content." There isn't that much information about the device but based on the listing it will be internet connected and will come "directly from Spotify," meaning it won’t just be an integration with a third-party company.  

Aside from that, there seems to be another listing that shows Spotify wants to dabble into voice control. This will be handy for both software and hardware. Don't expect this to surface anytime soon, though. Especially since the hardware job listing even states that the person who fills the position will "define the product requirements."
