Part of making money for Spotify and for the record labels its licensing from is its buy feature; and that got an upgrade this week:
Buy without leaving Spotify: Previously users needed to complete a number of steps before being directed to purchase music from download partner 7digital's site.
- Better visibility: Before the upgrade users had to right-click on a track/album to discover if the music was available to buy. They can now see exactly what music is available, with special 'buy' buttons visible either underneath the album cover or next to a track.
- Playable within Spotify: All Spotify MP3 purchases will also be available to play on the service and can be transferred to any other MP3 player, program or transferred to a CD.
