The Windows Phone version of Spotify offers free music streaming at long last
Several months passed since Spotify for Windows Phone got overhauled and received some handy and incremental features. Today, however, is another pretty important day for all WP fans of the music-streaming service, as it seems that it has finally taken a specific page out of the book of its Android and iOS variations – the popular music streaming service is now free for all those that use it on their WP devices.
"We're excited to see Spotify made available for free on Windows Phone. This puts a much-loved listening experience in the hands of Windows Phone fans across the world, and beautifully showcases both our platform and the Spotify service," revealed Steve Guggenheimer, a Corporate Vice President with Microsoft."
There's a catch, however. You can't just play whichever of your songs you desire on Spotify for mobile devices. Regardless of platform and OS, the app only allows you to “Shuffle Play” through your playlists. If this downside does not bother you, you'll be able to listen to your songs in a random order to your heart's content. On the other hand, obtaining a premium subscription allows you to choose which song to listen to at any given moment.
