BBC is reporting that the Swedish music streaming service Spotify has submitted the mobile app version of their service to Apple’s iTunes App Store for their approval. The app is expected to be made available in weeks.
US music fans are still going to wait though. The service is currently only available in the UK and several other European countries. However, the company plans on launching its service in the United States by year’s end.
The application won’t come without a cost. Technically the application is free, but it will require you to have a premium account with currently costs £9.99 a month. The premium service offers the streaming service without ads and streams the tracks at 320kbps Ogg-Vorbis as opposed to the 192kbps Ogg-Vorbis provided by the free service which also has users listen to an advertisement as often as every 20 minutes.
