Spotify Challenges iTunes With iPod Support, Playlist Synching

Stoobalou writes with this excerpt from thinq.co.uk: "Spotify has made a surprise announcement, and while it's still not the long-awaited US launch, it will be making a splash over the pond: the streaming music service is morphing into an iTunes competitor. In what is a clear attempt at rattling Apple's cage, Spotify has unveiled a pair of major new features: the ability to synchronise Spotify playlists with iPods, and the option to buy MP3 files to own — both key features of the iTunes platform. Any playlist created via the Spotify player can be downloaded in a single step, making 'digital mix-tape' creation significantly simpler."

Media Monkey is shit, too. I use and will always use Winamp without all the bloated extra Media Library crap, and I Play and / or Enqueque tracks from Windows Explorer, like anyone else with brains.

I can't see the point in all this "organising media" crap - if you're too stupid to use Directories to organised your own music collection, you should send your computer to somebody like me to add to their add to their Beowulf-cluster.
