Spotify

Have you got the Holiday playlists up?

Spotify is adjusting itself to become more than just a music service, but become a music platform by offering apps that are imbedded into it, such as the Rolling Stone music magazine, Tunewiki, Song Kick and the internet radio last f.m. Great news for die hard music lovers.

This comes after the recent and, arguably successful, Spotify and Facebook partnership. The reason why Spotify integrated into the social networking site, they say is very clear. Tying up with social networks and devices so that listener can share their music is the only way to stop piracy and save the music industry. UK music was down 11.4% in October this year compared to the same time last year.
