App Smackdown 2 - Spotify

APP SMACKDOWN

For this Smackdown, I would like to talk about Spotify. It, somewhat, indirectly effects me in a professional sense but is an overwhelming part of my life in a personal sense.
Spotify is a music streaming service that launched in 2008 in Sweden. The service currently has over 75 million users and currently brings in over 1.3 billions dollars a year.

Spotify is a service available on PC, Mac, iOS, Android, Windows Phone and more. It allows the user to bring an unlimited amount of music with them wherever they are. Users can choose from artists, albums, genres, community playlists and much, much more. Members with a premium membership have even more features available to them. They can listen to music which no ad interruptions, they have the ability to save any album on playlist onto their phone for when an internet access is not available and they also have the ability to seamlessly switch their currently playing music to any other of their connected devices.

Spotify doesn't have much of a direct effect on my graphic design study or work, but it does help. As a Graphic designer, I have to sit in front of a computer for hours on end. Spotify eases the burden of time consuming tasks. It's a real moral booster. I'm even using it right now.
