iPhone Spotify

Don't know if anyone else has read this, but Spotify have confirmed that they have submitted an app to Apple and are awaiting authorisation to get it up on the app store.

The app will be free, bu subscription is premium only at £9.99 a month.

Looks good though.

I will probably (certainly consider) dumping LastFM for this!

Feek · 27 Jul 2009 at 15:48

No ta, not at a tenner a month.

Apple will be hating the publicity over the approval of this app. You just know they don't want the app but can they risk being slagged off by the masses on the interwebs?

Same for me.

That's probably there because it's seen as a threat to iTunes.

Also you'll have to have the application open to play music which puts me off a bit as I like to play games whilst playing music.

Good idea/program from the tube video i have seen.

No worth £9.99 on top of my £35pm 02 contract.

Also if i like the music i buy the CD and rip to itunes or buy from itunes store. 16Gb's and counting

nice idea, but unless it worked in the background i'm not interested. I am warming up to the idea of an all you can eat subscription service for say itunes though as more and more these days i'm buying my music digitally.

Will this actually work over anything but wifi?

Last.fm really is quite good over 3g

Qdos · 27 Jul 2009 at 17:59

You'll be able to download your playlists and use them offline - a massive leap over last.fm and Pandora.

I use Spotify pretty much exclusively now for music - if they can get it to run in the background, it's got my sub as I use it at home and work as well.

Well most audio is stored at a bitrate of between 128kbps and 300kbps (at least in my iTunes library...) which translates to 16-37.5 kB/s which seems very realistic for 3G - sure sometimes it will dip between those levels, but buffering should cover that.

Been looking forward to this for a long time but it's not worth a tenner a month - no way!

Price is the ONLY boundary I see with this application.

For video and music I would really consider this.

deadite66 · 27 Jul 2009 at 18:46

annoying that android hasn't got a version yet, i seriously doubt apple will allow this app.

Wouldnt worry, you could just use Spot, although that requires a subscription too.

Tunney · 27 Jul 2009 at 19:00

I can't see Apple allowing this app onto the app store, though I guess the high monthly subscription cost will stop it destroying iTunes.

I'd considering it for £10 a month. Spotify's catalogue is very good these days.

If it was going to replace buying more than a couple of discs a month for someone, that £10 a month isn't bad at all.

Spotify on an Iphone.. Now that is a good deal.
