Spotify

With a database containing over 10 million tracks, Spotify is an excellent way to listen to your favourites artists without downloading. Once you have downloaded the Spotify software, you have instant access to all of these tracks with none of the delay involved in waiting for file transfers to complete.

You can listen to any track at any time – just search for it in Spotify, click and play. Build a library of all your favourite music and it will be there at the touch of  a button whenever you want to listen to it. Mobile versions of Spotify are available, allowing you to access your music on the go. If you want to recommend a song, share it with your friends on Facebook or Twitter and drag and drop music between your usernames.

Spotify Open is free and allows users to access the full catalogue of music and audio files. Spotify Premium includes extra functions such as no advertising and offline access to your tracks. Premium members also benefit from better sound quality, exclusive content and mobile Spotify, for a charge of £9.99 per month.
