Spotify is a digital music streaming service that allows anyone access to listen to millions of songs for free. If you pay and become a member you are able to use and listen to muisc offline when and wherever you would like to. As well as having access to Spotify on your computer, you can also access Spotify on yout smartphone or a device with internet access using the app.
Spotify mainly focouses on the distribution of music. However it also focouses on the exhibation of music as there are adverts on that are played after listening to a certain amount of songs. These adverts advertise music that you can listen to on Spotify or to tell you which artists have released a new single/album that you should listen to and buy.
You can access Spotify on most devices with an Internet connection that can download the app e.g laptop, smartphone, tablet, iPod. If you are not a member of Spotify and don't pay money then you need the internet to use Spotify all the time. You also have to listen to an advert after listening to a certain number of songs. If you're a member and pay (£4.99 per month for Unlimited and 9.99 per month for Premium) then you can listen to Spotify offline as long as you have already downloaded the app. You also don't get interrupted by adverts.
Spotify is owned by Daniel Ek and was founded in April 2006 and launched on the 7th of October 2008. The last time Spotify counted the amount of users in March 2013, it had 6 million paying subscribers.
