Spotify to make it portable?

Filed in archive Analysis on May 30, 2009

Spotify is awesome. It is the one piece of legal music distribution I cannot fault; you can listen to music, free of charge, whenever you like, just for a couple of ads here and there. Now it's set to get better with teases of an Android, and potentially an iPhone application in the work, allowing access to any music, free, from anywhere. It's a wonderful concept...but will it pan out? Will Spotify really be able to generate the revenues required from simple voice based ads? I'm honestly unsure... plus there's the whole, like, being launched in America issue....
