Spotify, the latest in music on the Internet

What is it?

It’s a revolution in music distribution. Spotify is an application for Windows and Mac with a music catalogue that users may search and listen to in streaming audio. The idea is similar to iTunes but downloading is not possible. Instead, users can listen free of charge to any track and without any limitations. The only drawback is the advertising that users hear every certain amount time or number of tracks.

What’s in the catalogue?

For the time being the music published by the four biggest music labels (EMI, Warner Music, Sony BMG y Universal), as well as a large number of small labels from the Long Tail associated with The Orchard and Merlin.
