Free music promising high quality with a simple user interface similar to itune and saved play list on the program. Spotify is offering the public a legal, safe and simple way to enjoy free music.

The quality of the music is so much better then the other alternatives, especially you tube, more choice is available. The interface works better then most of the competition.

Relying on the internet could be seen as a down side but with it existing in nearly every home and also the mass growth of wifi and other mobile internet options this seem like a redundant negative. As for being able to play it on your mp3 player.... well if you like the music enough to want to own it then perhaps buying it for a small fee off of places like itunes and amazon should be considered its an excelent place to see if you like something this could improve the quality of successful bands and also champion music which would normally not get a look in. Its an awsome place to be able to listen to the music of a band you about to see live with out having to spend any more cash.

Also the more exciting element of Spotify being used as a DJ application, no more "have you got this tune mate?" dj: "Oh I don't have that one sorry" I know people are going to say that it will be tough using as a DJ tool considering you need the net but like I said before mobile connection is becoming more and more affordable and usable.

This is more attractive to artists and record labels. Spotify should include a rent option for connection with ipods and mp3 players in order to generate funds for artists this will help reduce a lot of illegal problems.

Although it isn't a new concept, Spotify is in collaboration with the four major record labels and independent digital music distributors which distinguishes it from similar services like google jukebox and napster, as it offers a specific result at a high playing quality.

Having a 'cloud' access to your private collection of music will release your computer hard drive memory. In addition it allows a more remote access to your collection on any computer you go to, as long as it has the spotify program. Picture the process you go through when you get a new laptop, there is no longer a need to spend time transferring your torrent of music across. Done!

Whilst users can gain access to a vast catalogue of music when they are sitting in front on their computers, there is no way of taking it with them when they leave the house. For this they will need a way to export music to their Ipods/Mp3 players - with illegal downloading sure to remain a popular choice for many.
