E. M. Forster predicted the gradual decline of Spotify and Sonos in his 1909 short story The Machine Stops:

"I can never be sure of my music now. It gets worse and worse each time I summon it."

"Time passed, and they resented the defects no longer. The defects had not been remedied, but the human tissues in that latter day had become so subservient, that they readily adapted themselves to every caprice of the Machine."
