Windows Phone users who love streaming music can now rejoice, as the wildly popular Spotify has made its way to Microsoft’s mobile operating system. The streaming service runs on a monthly subscription, which allows customers to stream millions of songs all for the price of $9.99/month. Furthermore, the music streaming service lets you share your music on Facebook, Twitter, and Windows Live Messenger.
Other noteworthy additions to Windows Phone by Spotify include:
- Browse and play your friends’ Spotify top tracks, artists, and playlists
- Pin your playlists as Live Tiles to your Start screen for fast access
- Play music in the background while running other apps or when your phone is locked
- Pause, play, or change tracks when your phone is locked with universal controls
Microsoft getting Spotify to launch an app for its mobile OS is a big deal, especially when it’s trying to grab as much market share as it can, which, according to the recent comScore research study, has a long ways to go.
