There is an article on Billboard.com that seems to be about to make your Ipod obsolete. The subscription based Spotify, to launch late this year? early next year? gets what amounts to a testimonial.
Here is an except:
“When I read that Spotify’s premium users outside of the United Kingdom were given a one-week head start on the new Kings of Leon album, “Come Around Sundown,” I opened the Spotify app on my iPod Touch, searched for the album, added the entire set as a playlist and then downloaded the 13 songs to the device over a Wi-Fi network. From start to finish the entire process took far less than a minute.”
A WEEK BEFORE IT WAS RELEASED.
FOR FREE!!!
If Steve Jobs doesn’t get his act together fast, the IPOD will go the way of the CD, vinyl, 8 Tracks: straight into the trashcan of history.
