Spotify Interactive Novel

Spotify have launched a unique interactive audio novel created by Hurts and novelist Joe Stretch. You play the protagonist in a journey narrated by Anna Friel. Each chapter of the novel has been published as a track on Spotify, and can be located by typing a unique code into the search field.

After listening to each chapter of the story you’ll be offered a choice of what to do next, along with the unique code for each action. There's a mission to it all but we won't give it away - just try not to die and you'll be rewarded.

It's pretty interesting so have a go and search for A5M4 in your Spotify to begin your journey...

New "social" Spotify vs. ad-funded We7

If you haven't downloaded the latest version of Spotify it's worth taking a new look. First of all, it will add all of the songs on your PC to Spotify so that you can access them wherever you log in - either desktop or mobile.


It will also wirelessly sync your PC tracks to your mobile. Not only this, but you can share playlists to Twitter or Facebook and see all your Facebook friends playlists. Your friends can also send/recommend you music, basically stealing a bit of mflows thunder.

iTunes may finally have a decent rival as you can of course buy music through Spotify and access it on a huge variety of devices, not just the iPhone and Android.

More details on the new features over at Techcrunch.

Meanwhile, We7 scored a nice bit of PR recently that might just impact the hype around the launch of the latest version of Spotify.

"We7 has succeeded where many similar companies have failed: it has managed to get its advertising revenues to cover not only its own costs but, more importantly, the cost of the royalties it pays to the artists whose tracks it plays."

With We7 recently launching a paid subscription app for iPhone identical to Spotify's and both looking to break the US this year there could be exciting times ahead.
