- People have long requested a browser-based player from Spotify, and the Swedish company has responded by releasing a beta Web version of the popular streaming music software.
- The new version allows people who cannot or do not want to download applications to use Spotify’s immense music library (competitor Rdio has had a Web player for years).
- The Web version also allows people to log in to their Spotify account on computers other than their own.
- “It’s unclear exactly what technology Spotify has chosen to use for streaming music in its Web player,” writes The Verge.
- Spotify uses peer-to-peer technology on its desktop application, and streams directly from Spotify servers for the mobile app.
- “The Web player is now live in some regions, and users will receive a Facebook invite when the service is ready,” notes the post.
