Spotify Is Still Better Than The New iTunes

Applehas been promising a new version of iTunes will be out this month, and the clock is ticking. 

Meanwhile, 15 million users have taken up a compelling alternative: For $10 per month, the streaming music service Spotify gives you unlimited access to millions of songs from all four major record labels.

You can stream all of your music to any computer or smartphone. You can also download songs to your phone and listen to them offline.

The one improvement Apple is bringing is that your music collection will be accessible on any device, via iCloud. In our mind, that doesn't really bring it up to par with Spotify.

So why are you still stuck buying music track by track through iTunes—something that won't change with the impending release?

We've been using Spotify since last year, leaving iTunes behind. We're so glad we did.

Here's why you should too.

Spotify is just like iTunes, except you don't need to buy any songs. All you do is pay a small monthly fee to use the service. It's $4.99 per for desktop-only access. $9.99 per month gives you access to the mobile app for your smartphone.

Spotify has a library of over 15 million songs. Search for a song, double click it, and you're immediately listening to the entire song.

Forget about buying music. Now you can just drag songs you want to a playlist on your computer.
