The desktop version of Spotify just got better. Europe’s favorite streaming online jukebox just added offline listen to the desktop app. That means, in a nutshell, you can now cache your favorite playlists and enjoy them without an internet connection. Win!
Sure, the Spotify iPhone app already does this. For those without Apple’s Jesus-phone, though, there has been no way to listen to anything from the service if you’re stuck in some godforsaken place with no web access. Not anymore.
Just like the iPhone app, the desktop version now gets to store up to 3,333 tracks for offline listening. That’s more songs than you can ever enjoy in one sitting, ensuring plenty of options for those who want a good rotation of tunes without having to clog their data lines.
Making the playlist available is as simple as punching a button on the right hand side of the interface. Of course, you’ll need to be using the premium version for the feature to be available, so fork up that €10/£10, you tightwad.
Seriously, this service just continues to get better. With Spotify bound to debut in the US before the end of the year, expect all the other music services to get some worthy competition (including you, iTunes). Beware!
