Spotify, the popular European digital music service, has secured a deal to launch a mobile offering on Apple's iPhone costing customers £10 a month, it was revealed today.
Spotify, a Swedish firm, said a mobile application was now available for its premium subscribers in the UK, Sweden, Spain, France and Norway on the iPhone, iPod Touch and phones using the Android platform.
The application will allow premium users to access millions of tracks from the service, previously only available via a computer, wherever they go.
Spotify has won plaudits from the music industry, which has been undermined by piracy, for offering a better and smoother alternative to illegal sites. It has more than 6m users in Europe and over 5m tracks available.
Users of the service can either listen to music for free and in exchange for watching adverts, or pay a premium fee of £9.99 a month to avoid the ads.
"This is a hugely significant day in Spotify's short history," said Gustav Sderstrm, director of portable solutions at Spotify. "Since our launch last October, we've worked hard to provide our users with a high quality service that gives them access to whatever music they want, whenever they want it."
