Spotify has similar aspirations to many streaming music apps/sites/companies: “Our dream is to let everyone listen to whatever they want, whenever and wherever they want.” They’ve got a great start – the application can download songs in advance so that if you lose a data connection, the sense of “streaming” is never interrupted:

The company is displaying their wares at Google I/O 2009 but don’t get TOO excited just yet:

• Their website explains that Spotify is not yet available in the United States due to legal concerns
• The Android Application is only in alpha

Spotify also has a desktop client enabling you to sync what appears on your desktop and on your phone, instantaneously.

Spotify is free, supported by in app/client advertising although you can purchase subscriptions to have advertising removed – nice touch. Their website says there aren’t any announcements coming in the immediate future, we might learn a little more via Google I/O and we’ll keep you posted!
