Spotify Expands Free Streaming to All Devices

Spotify Expands Free Streaming to All Devices | Latest Social Media News | Scoop.it
Spotify announced on Wednesday that it is expanding its free streaming option to all devices.

 

Spotify Free for tablets will also work in conjunction with Spotify Connect, the company's Chromecast-like integration for home stereo systems. Previously, non-paying Spotify users could only listen to Spotify Radio selections on mobile. Like Pandora, iTunes Radio andiHeartRadio, Spotify Radio allows users to listen to "stations" comprised of artists and genres, but not specific music tracks.

 

The new option will allow users to listen to tracks they select, just as they can on the desktop.

 

 

In addition to Spotify Free for tablets, the company is also rolling out a free streaming option for all devices, including mobile phones. This option, dubbed "Spotify Shuffle," the option will allow users to "shuffle play" all playlists in their libraries and shuffle listen to any artist they choose.

This is a pretty good article for teachers who are trying to divert from the traditional methods of leading the class. The main focus should be the steps given, which are easy to learn and broad enough to adapt any classroom. I would recommend others use this article as a guideline to how you should lead the class room. I like the idea of imagining the role as a "learner first."
