96,964 tracks on your mobile!
Spotify founders: Daniel Ek and Martin Lorentzon
In July I blogged about the innovative new mobile application for iPhone by Spotify which gives it’s users access to a huge library of music via paid subscription or free ad supported accounts.
The service has been available for desktop computers running Windows and Macs for some time but I have been eagerly awaiting the launch of the mobile service. As an iPod Touch users I was hoping that Apple didn’t ban the application for “duplicating iPhone functionality”. It wouldn’t have surprised me if they did but it some how made it pass the Apple approval team.
The service is now available on not just the iPhone but also on the Android platform (for example HTC Hero or Samsung i7500).
Whats great about this service is not just that you can stream unlimited amounts of music to your phone via 3G or wifi, but that it lets you download the songs to your device so you can listen to them in areas where you have no signal such as the under ground.
I would say this is a must for anyone who loves music. If you haven’t got a compatible smart phone then try the desktop client.
