You’ve seen the demos, we’ve gotten the approvals and now Spotify is mobile .

Today we’re really excited to announce that Spotify is available to our premium subscribers for the iPhone, iPod Touch and Android platforms. The Spotify app is downloadable in both Apple’s App Store and the Android Market.

We’ve worked hard to bring you the same great Spotify experience you’re already familiar with to your phone. The mobile apps will allow you to take the entire Spotify catalogue and put it in your pocket. You can use our ‘offline mode’ to make playlists available at all times, even when no connection is available. Perfect for that ride on the tube or long flight across the Atlantic.

Launching these apps is our first step at going mobile and we’d like to thank all the people who worked hard on making this happen as well as all the partners involved in the process.

We’ve set up a mobile section with more details and we look forward to hearing your thoughts. We know that you’ve been eagerly awaiting this launch and we appreciate the patience – now go out and get that app!

Yay ! Finally ! :)

 
 

FANTASTIC NEWS! :D

 
 

Awesome work guys! I was very surprised to find Spotify on Android Market tonight, didn't expect that on a sunday night. :) Been trying it for an hour now on my HTC Magic and it works great!

 
 

i can't find it on apps store

 
 

Hey Yeh. Well done gang. Am busy downloading my playlists. Try: http://itunes.com/app/Spotify

 
 

iPhone link that should be included in the web page : http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=324684580&mt=8

 
 

Oh my god. This is amazing. So much better that I can run it in the background haha

 
 

I guess Sky News can publish their interviews now! lol

 
 

trying it out right now, very impressed, works great over 3G as well! lets hope you can cope with the deluge of traffic you'll get as a result ;) congrats Spotify, great work

 
 

Great stuff :) Just found this on the iTunes store,

 
 

Fantastic news!!

 
 

Thanks for staying up for us Daniel and team! Seems to be all working fine.

 
 

Great news. Or so I thought. I went to pay for my premium account, only to find that you actually don't accept debit cards, only Visa or Mastercard. So consider me one customer you've lost. How long have you had to sort out your payment options, exactly?

 
 

Can't get it to log on, getting error 117?

 
 

Fantastic news! Awesome! Finally I have a reason to go premium, and with a light heart - Spotify for Android!

 
 

i want to buy premium but i have no visa or mastercard , only maestro!! WTF!

 
 

You guys are wonderful! How seamless the transition from desktop to mobile is (in terms of user experience) is a tribute to your technology. That trademark "no buffering wait" I love about your desktop app is here too!! Congratulations on a job well done ... Surprisingly this seems like it is going to be the easier way of getting music on my iPhone (which, because I use Linux, always entails having to reboot or switch computers).

 
 

Niiice! Finally! :D

 
 

restarted phone, is working now!

 
 

max angry, max wait 2 months for app to be approved, only to find max cant have service because max only have debit card..

 
 

Btw, just did a search on artist. This worked fine. Flicked across to the 'Tracks' tab and could see the tracks by the artist that I searched for. Selected the 'Albums' tab and this was empty. (Not sure if this is a bug).

 
 

Fantastic news, thanks for all the work guys - This is truly awesome!

 
 

I'm so happy! Great work!

 
 

That's great news! when can we expect a blackberry version of spotify?

 
 

Great news!

 
 

You guy's who cannot use your debit cards, which cardsystem are they affiliated with. I could use my debit card MasterCard without a problem, not Spotify's fault your bank isn't affiliated with any international card firms. I'd go get an account on a real bank.

 
 

fantastic, thanks so much

 
 

Kick ass! Well done.

 
 

Awesome! Consider me a premium member from this day forth :) I successfully used my VISA Debit card without a problem. (The comments had me worried there for a moment!)

 
 

Fantastic news...I'm just going to visit the app. store and get it on my Ipod touch now... Thank you to everyone at Spotify...I've been waiting patiently for this... As for the comments about debit cards, I pay my monthly sub by DEBIT card (I haven't got a credit card.) I'm in the UK. Maybe it's different for other countries???

 
 

even a paypal option would be nice? i really want to use this service im willing to litteraly chuck money at this awesome service

 
 

you can get visa/ mastefcard compatible debit cards, but switch, solo, maestro etc do not work.. so im a bit gutted

 
 

Get an account with "a real bank"? How real is HSBC? My Maestro card won't work. It's good enough for any other ecommerce site, but apparently not for Spotify.

 
 

Those folks with cranky cards- don't you have friends who could lend you ten quid for a few weeks? Some card companies charge more for processing than others. Large companies like Royal Mail also discriminate against some cards. Honestly, it's not like Spotify are selling the AIDS cure to Visa users only. Calm down!

 
 

Works perfectly, paid with Visa and downloaded from Android Market - and that's it. Works well, and looks really impressive. Just gonna have to remove some ScummVM games or buy a bigger SD card so I can sync some playlists as well :)

 
 

spotify , you people are brilliant, but you really should have thaught this one though mabie a bit more. you knew the demand for this service was gunna be huge.. why havent you got every possible option of payment set up here to allow the hundreds of thousands of £9.99s fly straight into you're account?

 
 

What a Surprise!!!! Thanks guys, Hope you will have more Success!!

 
 

How do I change App Store? I'm in the Dutch one now and I'd like to be in one that /does/ carry this app. Help!

 
 

Fantastic!! Just gone premium,streaming songs now and downloading my playlists. Artist search is in as well which I don't think was in the preview. Only 1 thing missing Last.FM scrobbling, can hardly bare to listen to music unless its being scrobbled. Excellent job Spotify, game changer :-)

 
 

Works great on my iPhone! :)

 
 

yess! works perfectly! only thing missing is background playback on iPhone. Should be possible right? But satisfied for now =)

 
 

Fantastic! Congrats Daniel and team!

 
 

What about a Windows Mobile version?

 
 

Awesome! Amazing quality of service! Works great on my iPhone

 
 

I love Spotify <3

 
 

Awesome, congrats :)
