Spotify to take on iTunes

Spotify launch a new download service.

imageSpotify launched in 2008 and since then have become a very popular service to listen to music on, they have had one million subscribers and 10 million registered users, as of March 2011. They’ve noted that and are now ready to take on Apple iTunes. Bit of a challenge hey?

As well as streaming your music you will be able to download tracks and also play them back on your iPod.

Spotify is a great service to listen to the latest music when you’re near a computer or a mobile phone, but when you’re not or got no signal on your device you used to be in trouble but not anymore.  You will now be able to sync the MP3 tracks you download from the Spotify app to your iPod without even having to use iTunes.

Spotify’s new music store will basically allow you to buy your songs either individually or in a playlist for discounted prices.10 tracks will cost you £7.99 or 80p each. Buy a bundle of 100 tracks for £50. The new service have also said goodbye to 7digital which did power all of the tracks which you purchased through Spotify beforehand.

This is what the Daniel Ek, chief executive and founder of Spotify said:

“Our users don’t want to have to switch between music players, but they do want to take their playlists with them wherever they go, on a wider range of devices, more simply and at a price they can afford. Now we’ve made that possible on one of the world’s most popular consumer devices.”

The new service is ready to use now.
