Spotify

Twitter users can enjoy now with their custom-made playlists created with iTunes, Spotify, Last.fm, YouTube, We Are Hunted, Winamp, Rhapsody, Soundcloud, or even if simply scribbled list of favorite tracks in a notepad file. 

Spotify, Swedish music streaming service, has boosted about having 320,000 premium users.

Spotify is currently available in six European countries including the UK and has around 7 million users, with 320,000 paying the £10 per month subscription fee.

 A prominent music streaming service Spotify announced extension of its mobile reach with the release of an application that allows Symbian based mobile phones to access it. Earlier the service launched apps for iPhone and Android users and now Nokia, along with Sony Ericsson and Samsung cell phone users will also be able to enjoy music access.

Phones powered by Symbian far outstrip the iPhone and Android (for now) in Europe where Spotify is currently available.

 Starting next week BSkyB, a British media group, will launch its new digital music service Sky Songs to rival Apple's iTunes and Spotify in the music downloads market.

The company stated on Sunday its service scheduled for the launch on October 19 would allow users to access more than four million tracks for download and ad-free streaming.

Spotify is now challenging iTunes as a rival for consumers’ digital music library. The company plans to offer its subscribers offline mode enabling to 'dial an album' to listen to even on the way home with no extra charge. That's something Apple can't currently match.

 The main difference is in no featuring Spotify with CD burning. However, all the music is in a DRM encrypted format, so user can easily lose it when he is leaving.
