SpotOn iPhone App Brings Pandora-Like Radio to Spotify

If you don't use Spotify, and you love music, then stop reading right now and get it. For $10/month Spotify gives you on demand access to around 15 million music tracks. You can listen to the music on your Mac or PC, and on your mobile phone or iPad. There are several services which offer this experience, MOG, Rdio, Rhapsody and Napster, for example, but Spotify is the one with the most "buzz" and is emerging as the winner.

While Spotify is great when you have an idea what you want to listen to, it's still a bit weak for discovering new music. Fortunately, Spotify has opened up their system to 3rd party programs, and the first major one has emerged. It's called SpotOn, and it essentially takes the vast library of Spotify and gives you a Pandora-like radio experience. You just type in the name of the band you like, just like Pandora, and SpotOn will create a radio station from Spotify's music.

The SpotON Radio app requires a $9.99 Spotify premium membership for mobile access. Users of iCloud can sync their playlists and stations between devices. And best of all, the app is free!

Get Spotify, then get SpotOn. It's currently only available for the iPhone, but will also work on the iPad.
