The business of listening to music changes daily. Today your love, tomorrow the world.

Today, music streaming subscription service Spotify announced application partnerships with a bunch of music-related sites (see pic above) in order to create more individualized music experiences.

Business Insider blogged today from the announcement in New York that Spotify will be adding "Editorial apps, concert tickets, lyrics, and much more. Pitchfork, Fuse, Soundrop, Rolling Stone, Last.fm, Songkick."

Digital Music News writes that Spotify's CEO said these words: "Today, Spotify becomes a music platform."

The company's blog post reads:
"Let’s say you’re listening to a new track and you’d like to know the lyrics. Just click over to the TuneWiki app and see all the words of the song perfectly synced as you’re listening.

Maybe you want to see a gig this weekend? Check out the Songkick app to find out if any of the artists in your library are performing near you. Then get your hands on tickets with a few clicks."

That's a big step for Spotify, which says it now has some 2.5+ million paying subscribers, and 7 million new subscribers since September's Facebook launch. Plus, its subscribers have created over 500 million playlists.

Here's a look at a video the company made to help you find "lots of lovely free apps to discover the latest music news."



I'm a Spotify listener already. Looks Like I'll be there more often now.
