Spotify expanded its online music streaming service to include MP3 downloads, iPod playlist sync and more. The music service will now let free and premium users sync their iPod classic, nano or shuffle with the service. Simply connect your iPod and Spotify will add the portable media player to your list of available devices. In a matter of minutes, all the paid MP3 files in your Spotify playlist will automatically sync to your iPod.
Spotify also added a new download service that lets customers buy and download tracks from their playlists. The music streaming service has compiled several MP3 bundles that sells tracks for as low as 50 pence ($US0.83). Lastly, Spotify has made its mobile application available to everyone. Both free and premium users can now download the iOS application and wirelessly sync their playlists from their computer to their iPhone or iPod touch.
The European service is rolling out these new features to all of its users today as part of an automatic update. European readers should keep their eyes open for this update. When you receive it, let us know what you think.
