Spotify Main Picture


Spotify is a program for listening to streaming music over the internet. It gives access to millions of songs, from a wide range of artists and genres. You can also access any music you have stored locally through its interface, so that you don't have to run a second media player to listen to music you own.

The basic version for use on a computer is free, but supported by ads and has some limitations on listening. Two upgraded versions are also available, for a monthly subscription. The first, called 'unlimited', removes the ads and limits - and in the 'premium' version you also get full access to music streaming via mobile devices and an offline mode. More info on these versions can be found here.

Think of Spotify as your new music collection. Your library. Only this time your collection is vast: millions of tracks and counting. Spotify comes in all shapes and sizes, available for your PC, Mac, home audio system and mobile phone. Wherever you go, your music follows you.

And because the music plays live, there's no need to wait for downloads and no big dent in your hard drive.

Music is social
It's now easier than ever to discover and share music with your friends. Thanks to Spotify and Facebook, you can see and hear what your friends are listening to - just hit play on any music post.

You can also share music with a flick of the wrist. Send it straight to your friends, or post tracks on social networks. It's how music should be.
