Free Music with Spotify

No Comments

Spotify has an online library of millions of songs which you can listen to, through a windows application.
The best bit is that you can listen to all these songs free of charge, as long as you don’t mind an occasional advert, or you can pay £10 a month for an advert free service.

It works really well if you just want to listen to your favourite songs or discover new music, however, where for me Itunes is a better solution is you can save your music, copy to your Ipod and you own it.

Spotify is a nice product and you can’t go wrong with free music.
