Hands-On With the New Spotify Radio: Look Out, Pandora

Normally when a tech company launches a product or feature that's billed as a potential "killer" of a popular incumbent, there's cause to be skeptical. Quite often, that's just unsubstantiated hype either on the part of the company itself or tech writers. In the case of Spotify's new Web radio feature, we're not going to go so far as to say that it's a "Pandora killer," but its inclusion in Spotify's desktop client is going to give the up-and-coming streaming service a tangible advantage over the 11-year-old Web radio service. Sponsor Music recommendation engines can be a tricky nut to crack.

Once approved by Spotify, those apps will be available to users from the service's new "App Finder" button. They've also added a new home screen that show's what music is trending among one's friends, as well as an improved social experience all around. The new features are not yet included in the Spotify desktop client, but curious users can download a preview of the next version of the software. We did and after using it, we're finding that the inclusion of third party apps makes Spotify much better. It's not that Spotify was lacking to begin with.

Spotify Previews is a new section that showcases a few of the fun ideas and projects that our developers have been working on - mostly in their spare time, during hack days or in the middle of the night when they can't sleep. Some of these are pet projects, some are prototypes but they're all designed to make Spotify even more enjoyable. The projects here are unsupported by Spotify so they may not work as planned or be removed at any time, but if you like what we're doing let us know and if they prove popular enough they may well become regular Spotify features. That’s not the end of it. We’re working hard on adding further features, including folders and Last FM scrobbling, before the app goes live in Google Play. In order to get your hands on the all-new Android preview, firstly set your phone to allow installation from ‘Unknown Sources’ by going to the Settings > Applications > Unknown sources menu. http://www.spotify.com/us/download/previews/

HANDS-ON: Spotify's New App Platform

http://mashable.com/2011/11/30/spotify-apps-hands-on/ What's New The newly designed "What's New" screen features new albums and trending playlists and tracks from Spotify friends. Click here to view this gallery. Spotify just announced its new app platform. Partnering with the likes of Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, Billboard, Last.fm and The Guardian, the online music service aims to allow users to get more from their tunes. As Mashable reader Cristian Parrino pointed out in the comments, the fact that an app has launched its own app platform is an intriguing move.
http://www.businessinsider.com/spotify-is-getting-about-10-of-its-new-trial-members-to-pay-2011-11 Spotify revealed today that it now has 2.5 million paying subscribers. That's up from 2 million in mid-September. In other words, it's added about 500,000 subscribers since the Facebook F8 conference, where it started letting users share songs for free through the social network. Earlier this month, Facebook reported that Spotify had added about 4 million free users since F8. Assuming those growth rates stayed constant for the last couple of weeks, it's probably closer to 5 million now. Five million new users and 500,000 new subscribers translates to a conversion rate of about 10%.

Sonos Update Adds Support For Android Tablets And New Spotify Features

Sonos announced today that it's releasing an update for its music systems that includes compatibility with a variety of new Android-based tablets, including the Kindle Fire. The Sonos Controller app now works on Samsung Galaxy Tabs, HTC Flyer, Sony Tablet S, Kindle Fire, and most other Honeycomb tablets. The update also includes better Spotify integration that pulls in tracks from your inbox plus Spotify's new releases and top tracks lists. Those new Spotify features likely have something to do with what Spotify plans to announce at its big press event in NYC later today.
One can clearly see how Spotify caught on like wildfire in 2009, prompting the company to introduce limitations like a UK invite-only system just to manage the server load. Within the base of total users, premium subscription growth has been steady and less pronounced, but has doubled in the last year, to 2.5 million . The company has not specified a U.S. subscriber count but, viewed here, the subscriber growth has mostly occurred on the trajectory Spotify was already ploughing. Spotify is not giving us an update on its total registered users base beyond the 10 million it gave a year ago. http://paidcontent.org/2011/11/29/419-chart-spotifys-growth-story-next-stop-100-million-users/

Nous vous l’annoncions ce lundi , c’est désormais officiel, la plate-forme d’écoute de musique gratuite lance son service en Belgique ce mercredi. Après sa conquête des États-Unis, la compagnie suédoise se tourne à nouveau vers l’Europe. Spotify a obtenu un accord avec la Sabam et les maisons de disques pour une diffusion gratuite sur internet et une redistribution des fonds générés sur le territoire du Royaume. Pas de grande surprise pour cette version belge de Spotify qui reste la même qu’ailleurs dans le monde.

Spotify: « Notre premier concurrent, la musique piratée » | Geeko

Spotify est né en Suède, le pays d’origine du Parti Pirate et de Pirate Bay, l’un des plus gros sites de téléchargement illégal. En réponse à ces nouvelles habitudes de consommation la société a décidé de diffuser gratuitement et légalement de la musique sur le web. Le directeur européen de Spotify, Jonathan Forster a présenté son produit lors du lancement en Belgique. Les services offerts sont relativement identiques en quoi pouvez-vous de vous différencier ? Nous parions sur trois critères : la vitesse, la simplicité et le social.

The ultimate beginner guide to the groundbreaking music service, Spotify! Spotify is a free online streaming music platform that allows users to listen to songs on demand over the Internet--without having to buy or own the actual tracks.

Musique : les offres de streaming payantes vont multiplier par quatre leur chiffre d'affaires

L'abonnement est-il l'avenir de la musique ? C'est l'une des convictions du cabinet d'études Gartner. Les ventes mondiales de CD vont continuer de chuter sévèrement, tombant de 15 milliards en 2010 à 10 milliards de dollars en 2015. Dans le même temps, sans compenser ce déclin, les ventes numériques vont grimper de 5,9 milliards à 7,7 milliards de dollars. En Amérique du Nord, le marché de la musique digitale approche de la maturité et il sera difficile de maintenir des taux de croissance à deux chiffres.
Music, they say, makes the people come together — apparently to cast their votes for music subscription service Spotify in the Most Addictive Social Music Service category . That’s right, everyone’s favorite Swedish import (aside from Robyn, of course) has bested the rest.
