The wide-ranging survey appears to be a test of the level of interest a broader services directory and which categories should be included.The survey begins with a button with the streamer's [Provider Directory](https://artists.spotify.com/directory/distributors?ref=hypebot.com), which currently lists only a handful of Spotify "Preferred" artist and label distributors and music delivery platforms. "Want to see other services here, or get listed yourself?," asks Spotify along with a "Lets Us Know" button.From there, the survey goes in a variety of directions, asking first:

The following questions ask which artist services you want or provide. Artists are not asked for a name or contact info, but service providers are. 

A directory of vetted artists services would be a logical extension of Spotify For Artists and CEO Daniel Ek's often-repeated promise to build an ecosystem that enables "1 million creators to make a living off the platform."
