If like me you have an iPhone and you like your music, then you may want to consider subscribing to Spotify, a music streaming service with desktop applications available for Linux, Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X.

Now although Spotify offer a free option, the Premium option is the one you should take a look at as it allows you to store your playlists ‘offline’ on your device. Usually you would stream your playlists or any music file via the Spotify software on your internet enabled computer but with the offline option, you can take your playlists with you for offline use. This means you don’t have to buy as many albums as you may normally would.

The Premium option allows you to stream as many tunes as you want each month and there’s no advertising. Free users are limited to 20 hours each month and have advertising. Free users also don’t have the ‘offline’ feature.

Spotify Premium is £9.99-a-month in the UK. There’s the free option (called Open) as already mentioned and another option called ‘Unlimited’ at £4.99 (no ads but no offline play).

I live in Spain and I’ve signed up for the Premium option at €9.99-a-month. I’ve wiped all my albums from my iPhone to free up storage space for video content and now I just add songs using the search feature from within Spotify either online via my computer or via the Spotify app on my iPhone. And with millions of tracks available, I’m yet to never find something I was looking for.

As a member you can also post your favourite tracks to Facebook and Twitter and if you have friends on Spotify, you can send tracks to them and even browse their music libraries on their computer and play their tracks that are available on the Spofity catalogue.

I’m promoting Spotify because I think it will be of interest to people who aren’t aware of their services. I’m not an affiliate and there’s nothing in it for myself.

Tesco has launched the UK’s cheapest SIM only deal aimed at teenagers and young adults that entitles users to unlimited texts and 100 minutes of free calls for just £6-a-month.

Research by the supermarket giant found that almost a third of 16 to 24-year-olds spend more than £30 per month on their mobile phone bills with the majority of their spend on text messaging.

Lance Batchelor, chief executive of Tesco mobile and telecoms divisions, said: “This deal is ideal for a younger market or any text addict out there who doesn’t want to have to fork out a large amount each month but still wants to use their mobile to their hearts content.

“We’ve seen a big increase in sim-only mobile tariffs as savvy spenders hang on to their handsets and shop around for the best tariffs available.”
