Spotify

The book I read to research this post was Spotify for Dummies by Kim Gilmour which is a very good book which I got from my local library. Spotify is a music service whereby music which you can choose is streamed over the internet for you to listen to. It's compatible with android players & ipods or iphones. There's a premium package for £10, an unlimited package for £5 & a free package. The free version only gives 10 hours a month & contains adverts. Spotify use your computer to help distribute the music thus saving on servers & while this shouldn't mean people have access to your data in the wrong hand It could be abused. A few groups like the beatles haven't come on board although their solo work which is quite extensive is available. Spotify has sites in quite a lot of countries & always follows the local laws of that country. It's a swedish company. One of the beauties of spotify is that in addition it's also a kind of social network where you can interact & also share playlists. There's also a lot of plug ins that work with spotify. It contains over 15 million tracks & if you get spotify premium there are often bonus tracks available.
