  • Unfortunately, with this latest statement comes a few pros and cons though – one pro being not asking your boss if you can download Spotify. And one con being you need an Internet connection to open it. See more below.

New service from Apple, its called the iCloud

New music streaming service from Apple to take on Spotify.

imageApple are to hit us with a new music streaming service next week which could change how you listen to your music on your portable devices e.g. iPod or iPhone. iCloud is the name of the new service and its set to be officially unveiled next Monday, 6th June 2011. 

iCloud will work by scanning your hard drive and then letting you play the same songs that are already on your hard drive but on your portable device  through an online replicate.

Apple already has music labels, Sony, EMI, and Warner Music interested but its not enough to replace your whole music library by far.

There’s already a variety of songs available to us on iTunes so hopefully Apple will be able to offer a similar collection of music for iCloud.

What do you think of it? Is it a waste of time or could it actually be useful?

Watch this space next week for more information on the new service.

UPDATE: Spotify have denied Movie deal

No Spotify for Movies
imageI earlier posted about Spotify in talks with US Movie studios and said that I would keep you up-to-date with the latest goings on. So here it is, The Register convincingly say that its not going to happen and is baked up Daniel Ek, chief executive and founder of Spotify who has denied reports.
Here’s what he posted on Twitter:
“No it ain't true. Media these days are funny. Soon I'll be reading that Spotify is launching a space rocket.”
Let me know what you think. Post below or tweet me @TDTReview.

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.

Movies on Spotify, would be nice if it was to come true

Movie Streaming for Spotify.
imageSpotify are apparently in the process of finalising a number of Movie deals with US Movie studios. This is all in the run up of the music streaming company preparing to launch a movie service during Autumn of this year, TechCrunch’s anonymous source reveals.

The new service will allegedly offers users early exclusive access to a number of movies before they become available for you to buy on disc or through download services. This sounds great if its actually going to go ahead, however below doesn’t fill me with much hope.

Spotify CEO Daniel Ek has denied reports but be reassured that through The Daily Tech Review I will keep you updated with the latest developments on this project.
