(UPDATED) Now that a myriad of services deliver 10-15 million songs to our pockets, simple and personalized music discovery has become the music tech's [holy grail](https://www.hypebot.com/hypebot/2012/12/the-holy-grail-of-music-listening-social-discovery-and-recommendations-.html). To add to their discovery efforts, Spotify has acquired Tunigo, a music discovery app that scours Spotify's library and playlists; adding news, new releases, and an advanced music player.

Tunigo has reportedly raised $3 million, but details of Spotify's acquisition were not announced.

The Tunigo Spotify and iPhone apps, which include a number of Songza-like features, will continue to be available, according to Peter Kafka of [AllThingsD](http://allthingsd.com/20130503/spotify-takes-a-page-from-the-twitter-playbook-buys-music-discovery-app-tunigo/?ref=hypebot.com), who also reports that the acquisition is, in part, about working with the Tunigo development team.

From Twitter #Music to Songza to Beats yet to launch Daisy, music discovery is shaping up to be digital music's new battleground. How each startup solves the puzzle could mean success or [failure](https://www.hypebot.com/music-discovery-the-path-to-digital-failure/).
