Spotify is a new way to enjoy music. Simply download and install, before you know it you’ll be singing along to the genre, artist or song of your choice. With Spotify you are never far away from the song you want.
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 organising them. Spotify is instant, fun and simple.
Because music is social, Spotify allows you to share songs and playlists with friends, and even work together on collaborative playlists, Friday afternoon in the office might never be the same again! We’re music lovers like everyone else.
We want to connect millions of people with their favorite songs by creating a product that people love to use. We respect creativity and believe in fairly compensating artists for their work. We’ve cleared the rights to use the music you’ll listen to in Spotify.
You will need to have an invitation (token) to get access as it is still in beta. There 3 plans, free (supported by ads) and two premiums.
There is also a nice iPhone app. This link is for the features and this for the price plans.
The iPhone app is superior to the Pandora or last.fm ones.
The interface is like iTunes (which is a negative point if you want it web based like pandora).
Unlike either Last.fm or Pandora, Spotify actually lets you pick the exact music you listen to, which is a plus.
Of course, there is a catch. In return for being able to access any music you want, you have to listen to occasional adverts, like radio ads with web links to the products. This for the free version. The ‘Premium’ account (a tenner a month, or 99p for a day pass) removes the ads entirely.
