Spotify App To Replace iTunes
Apple’s has got some serious competition from on-demand music streaming company Spotify which is full of features good enough to replace iTunes as music application. Now Spotify has developed an application for the iPhone which Apple is finding hard to approve. If Spotify app is approved by Apple then Spotify would also be available on Apple’ iPod Touch in the U.S.
The iPhone software should be available as a free download from Apple’s iPhone App Store in a few weeks’ time, but using it to stream music will require a Spotify Premium subscription, the company’s communications manager Jim Butcher said Monday.
Spotify’s potential to compete with iTunes in the US remains speculative at this point but the list of features can give iTunes something to worry. Imagine iTunes, but everything is free. Some users are even claiming Spotify as the best thing to happen to music since Napster.
Features:
- Promises to stream any of over 6 million songs on-demand
- Create and save ordered playlists of songs
- Has an offline mode that allows users to temporarily cache playlists to their phone for use when there is no connection
Even though Spotify sounds too good to be true yet this company has some drawbacks of its own like the mobile app will only work for users who’ve upgraded to Spotify’s ad-free premium service ($14/mo). To use Spotify for free, users will have to use the desktop application.
