Spotify is moving from a free service to a sales app - as it competes with Apple. With Spotify, you can now buy music - and through their app load it up to an iPod (and avoid going through Apple's iTunes).
The article suggests:
"There are still plenty of weaknesses: It doesn't have an American service (some have suggested that Apple is exerting influence over record labels to stymie Spotify's move into America). It's still pretty poor at the process of music discovery—the service is great if you know what you want to listen to, but if you're looking for a radio-type service, then it's got a long way to go.And, if we're comparing it to iTunes, it still only does music."
It isn't the only company that has tried to be alternate to Apple / iTunes - so we'll have to wait and see how successful they become!!!
