If you love music, you’ve got to try Spotify. Spotify is the iTunes alternative which allows you to listen to a ridiculously huge library of music any time you want. Instead of paying to purchase individual songs, you can now pay a low monthly fee or use the free account to listen to everything you want.
Spotify offers 3 account options: Free, Unlimited ($5/month) and Premium ($10/month).

This is definitely a must try if you love music. Let us know if you’d like an invite!
