| Spotify For iPhone Mobile Applications Posted: 15 Sep 2009 11:18 PM PDT It’s been strange to watch the hype surrounding Spotify. It has been aided, in no small part by the mainstream media’s greater awareness of ongoing tech trends. It is one thing for us to enthuse about something, but quite another to see it headlined in the Daily Mail as the next big thing to corrupt innocent children or subject to pointless vox pop segments on Radio 1.

Of course the two services, though superficially similar, differ in many important aspects and we’re not going to exhaustively compare the two, here. However, we feel Napster still represents the best alternative Recognized - as last year’s Music Subscription Service Round-up attests to.
In essence the mobile application offers the same service as the desktop iteration, but with one important difference: it adds the ability to download tracks. Thus, while you can still stream music over Wi-Fi or 3G, if you’re somewhere that you can not get either or just do not want to drain your battery, you can still enjoy your music.It was strange to see the hype surrounding Spotify.
