Spotify is a proprietary
peer-to-peer[1] streaming music program that allows instant listening to specific tracks or albums with almost no buffering delay.
[2][3] Music can be browsed by artists, albums or created playlists as well as by direct searches. Although it is not possible to save the streamed music for use outside the application, a link is provided to allow the listener to directly purchase the material via partner retailers.
[4] The program/service in its free version is only available in parts of western Europe during the ongoing beta programme although the subscription model should be available in almost all countries.
