As opposed to getting it for free? Wassup with people not wanting to pay for their music nowadays. ]]>Sep 7th 2009 11:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/07/spotify-app-launches-on-itunes-and-android-market-to-premium-mem/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/07/spotify-app-launches-on-itunes-and-android-market-to-premium-mem/Sep 7th 2009 2:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/07/spotify-app-launches-on-itunes-and-android-market-to-premium-mem/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/07/spotify-app-launches-on-itunes-and-android-market-to-premium-mem/As opposed to an ad supported client just like the pc/mac versions.

Hopefully now the Spotify developers has the time to improve the terrible API they have provided and allow us to use our Squeezebox's, Sonos etc - preferably with the free version. ]]>Sep 7th 2009 5:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/07/spotify-app-launches-on-itunes-and-android-market-to-premium-mem/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/07/spotify-app-launches-on-itunes-and-android-market-to-premium-mem/
An artist with 50000 hits on a song gets paid around $130 with the current model, so I highly doubt you'll see any extended services for free users. They really NEED us to quit leeching and start paying for this to work in the long run.]]>Sep 7th 2009 7:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/07/spotify-app-launches-on-itunes-and-android-market-to-premium-mem/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/07/spotify-app-launches-on-itunes-and-android-market-to-premium-mem/Sep 7th 2009 5:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/07/spotify-app-launches-on-itunes-and-android-market-to-premium-mem/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/07/spotify-app-launches-on-itunes-and-android-market-to-premium-mem/Sep 7th 2009 8:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/07/spotify-app-launches-on-itunes-and-android-market-to-premium-mem/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/07/spotify-app-launches-on-itunes-and-android-market-to-premium-mem/

Boom!

Music in the background.]]>Sep 8th 2009 12:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/07/spotify-app-launches-on-itunes-and-android-market-to-premium-mem/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/07/spotify-app-launches-on-itunes-and-android-market-to-premium-mem/Sep 7th 2009 5:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/07/spotify-app-launches-on-itunes-and-android-market-to-premium-mem/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/07/spotify-app-launches-on-itunes-and-android-market-to-premium-mem/
For example, I get on the train to work, load up Spotify, and want to listen to something new. I find something, and if I stream it, I lose connection occasionally and the music stutters. I want to be able to download/sync it there and then, while I have a good connection, so it doesn't stop when I do lose connection.]]>Sep 7th 2009 5:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/07/spotify-app-launches-on-itunes-and-android-market-to-premium-mem/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/07/spotify-app-launches-on-itunes-and-android-market-to-premium-mem/Sep 7th 2009 6:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/07/spotify-app-launches-on-itunes-and-android-market-to-premium-mem/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/07/spotify-app-launches-on-itunes-and-android-market-to-premium-mem/Sep 7th 2009 6:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/07/spotify-app-launches-on-itunes-and-android-market-to-premium-mem/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/07/spotify-app-launches-on-itunes-and-android-market-to-premium-mem/Sep 7th 2009 6:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/07/spotify-app-launches-on-itunes-and-android-market-to-premium-mem/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/07/spotify-app-launches-on-itunes-and-android-market-to-premium-mem/Sep 7th 2009 8:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/07/spotify-app-launches-on-itunes-and-android-market-to-premium-mem/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/07/spotify-app-launches-on-itunes-and-android-market-to-premium-mem/
What a stupid comment to make - this is not a limitation of the iPhone, it's a limitation of the Spotify iPhone app.]]>Sep 7th 2009 7:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/07/spotify-app-launches-on-itunes-and-android-market-to-premium-mem/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/07/spotify-app-launches-on-itunes-and-android-market-to-premium-mem/Sep 7th 2009 2:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/07/spotify-app-launches-on-itunes-and-android-market-to-premium-mem/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/07/spotify-app-launches-on-itunes-and-android-market-to-premium-mem/
Actually, no one in this thread mentions running apps in the background - my complaint was the inability to sync offline playlists over 3G, which is *not* a limitation of the iPhone, rather a restriction they've programmed into the app.]]>Sep 7th 2009 4:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/07/spotify-app-launches-on-itunes-and-android-market-to-premium-mem/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/07/spotify-app-launches-on-itunes-and-android-market-to-premium-mem/Sep 7th 2009 8:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/07/spotify-app-launches-on-itunes-and-android-market-to-premium-mem/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/07/spotify-app-launches-on-itunes-and-android-market-to-premium-mem/
Sure, it may be something the carriers convinced Apple/Spotify to do, but it's worth pointing out that AT&T are not the only iPhone carrier in the world, and besides which, Spotify isn't even available in the US, so AT&T in particular wouldn't care.

I don't care anymore anyway, I jailbreaked (jailbroke?) mine earlier, and it's working lovely with Backgrounder and 3G Unrestrictor.]]>Sep 7th 2009 8:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/07/spotify-app-launches-on-itunes-and-android-market-to-premium-mem/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/07/spotify-app-launches-on-itunes-and-android-market-to-premium-mem/Sep 7th 2009 8:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/07/spotify-app-launches-on-itunes-and-android-market-to-premium-mem/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/07/spotify-app-launches-on-itunes-and-android-market-to-premium-mem/Sep 7th 2009 5:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/07/spotify-app-launches-on-itunes-and-android-market-to-premium-mem/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/07/spotify-app-launches-on-itunes-and-android-market-to-premium-mem/Sep 7th 2009 5:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/07/spotify-app-launches-on-itunes-and-android-market-to-premium-mem/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/07/spotify-app-launches-on-itunes-and-android-market-to-premium-mem/Sep 7th 2009 6:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/07/spotify-app-launches-on-itunes-and-android-market-to-premium-mem/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/07/spotify-app-launches-on-itunes-and-android-market-to-premium-mem/Sep 7th 2009 6:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/07/spotify-app-launches-on-itunes-and-android-market-to-premium-mem/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/07/spotify-app-launches-on-itunes-and-android-market-to-premium-mem/Sep 7th 2009 3:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/07/spotify-app-launches-on-itunes-and-android-market-to-premium-mem/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/07/spotify-app-launches-on-itunes-and-android-market-to-premium-mem/Sep 7th 2009 5:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/07/spotify-app-launches-on-itunes-and-android-market-to-premium-mem/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/07/spotify-app-launches-on-itunes-and-android-market-to-premium-mem/Sep 7th 2009 5:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/07/spotify-app-launches-on-itunes-and-android-market-to-premium-mem/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/07/spotify-app-launches-on-itunes-and-android-market-to-premium-mem/Sep 7th 2009 6:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/07/spotify-app-launches-on-itunes-and-android-market-to-premium-mem/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/07/spotify-app-launches-on-itunes-and-android-market-to-premium-mem/Sep 7th 2009 7:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/07/spotify-app-launches-on-itunes-and-android-market-to-premium-mem/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/07/spotify-app-launches-on-itunes-and-android-market-to-premium-mem/Sep 7th 2009 11:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/07/spotify-app-launches-on-itunes-and-android-market-to-premium-mem/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/07/spotify-app-launches-on-itunes-and-android-market-to-premium-mem/

Great free app - not so sure if it runs £10/month good though, despite the incredible number of ads on the free service now. For my money, needs to be half the price with better music industry support. Otherwise, Spotify=fail.

I still think the instant nature of the streaming over wifi is amazing - and the same goes for syncing from Mac to iPhone - you add it on the computer, it starts syncing instantly on the app. Impressive. ]]>Sep 7th 2009 6:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/07/spotify-app-launches-on-itunes-and-android-market-to-premium-mem/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/07/spotify-app-launches-on-itunes-and-android-market-to-premium-mem/
I've been using Spotify/PC version since august last year, first in beta phase and then as a Premium subscriber....15USD/moth....less then a CD for almost 6 million songs...I think it's a great app!]]>Sep 7th 2009 12:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/07/spotify-app-launches-on-itunes-and-android-market-to-premium-mem/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/07/spotify-app-launches-on-itunes-and-android-market-to-premium-mem/
Which makes it totally pointless.

No amount of push notifications is going to sort this problem. Apple need to step up their game.

Oh well, I guess this saves me £10 a month.]]>Sep 7th 2009 6:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/07/spotify-app-launches-on-itunes-and-android-market-to-premium-mem/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/07/spotify-app-launches-on-itunes-and-android-market-to-premium-mem/
Oh, please. I understand that it is desirable for this application to work in the same sort of way as the iPod application but I think it's a bit of a stretch to say that it is totally pointless. As long as the application works (that is to say, will play your Spotify playlists) then it has a point.]]>Sep 7th 2009 7:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/07/spotify-app-launches-on-itunes-and-android-market-to-premium-mem/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/07/spotify-app-launches-on-itunes-and-android-market-to-premium-mem/
The iPhone is a communication device first and foremost. What's the point of the Spotify app if you can't listen to music and read your SMS/browse your e-mail/surf the web at the same time?]]>Sep 7th 2009 7:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/07/spotify-app-launches-on-itunes-and-android-market-to-premium-mem/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/07/spotify-app-launches-on-itunes-and-android-market-to-premium-mem/Sep 7th 2009 10:13AM
