Spotify has taken the UK and Europe by storm. It has captured over 6 million users there in under 12 months! And its available for use on iPhones
Sadly, its not yet available in the US, Canada, Australia and a host of other countries. But, there are plans to launch the service in the US early in 2010, so its worth having a quick look at just what this this popular music service offers.
Number one feature – it offers free music that is legal!! Or, as Spotify puts it:
Spotify is a new way to enjoy music. Simply download and install ….. There are no restrictions in terms of what you can listen to or when. Forget about the hassle of waiting for files to download and fill up your hard drive before you get round to organizing them. Spotify is instant, fun and simple.
The term “free” is a little misleading as there is a membership fee to get access to their music. However, Spotify does offer access to six million songs (iTunes has 10 million) . To get a preview of what this will mean for the iPhone user, just check out this video on the Spotify (UK) iPhone app:
