Spotify and Virgin Media to hook up?

News: 9th December 2010 by Louise Dodgson under Media, Selling & Distributing Your Music

A few items about Spotify in the news this week. Firstly, they are reportedly in talks with Virgin Media about introducing Spotify's services to Virgin Media users. Secondly, Daniel Ek has been speaking at 'All Things Digital' conference and he thinks that one day music will become more popular on the web than photos. And if it could surpass porn, then all musical types whould be laughing. (Daniel Ek didn't say that last part, I added it - just to be clear).

And finally in your Spotify update, the US launch isn't looking likely anytime soon. Originally, Ek had stated it would be before 2011 but time is closing in fast and a further launch date hasn't been confirmed. So, watch this space.
