Spotify for iOS updated with radio streaming feature for both free and premium users

Whether or not you believe music models and services like Spotify, Rdio, MOG, Pandora, etc are here to stay, it seems that for now Spotify has recently announced that iPad, iPod touch and iPhone users will now be able to stream radio on their devices regardless whether you’re a free or premium user of the company’s services. This feature was previously limited to the desktop version of Spotify but now mobile users will be able to enjoy this feature as well. According to Spotify’s press release, users who have the Spotify app on their iPhone or iPad will now be able to:

• Create limitless streaming radio stations from single songs, playlists, albums or artists
• Create an unlimited number of stations and listen as long as they like
• Save tracks to Spotify playlists – any song that users “like” will be saved, so they can find the songs later
• Personalize stations in real time by “liking” tracks to hear similar music
• Browse friends’ playlists and create radio stations based on their tastes
• Hear great new songs from Spotify’s state-of-the-art recommendation engine, based on what millions of real people are listening to
• Access a catalog of over 16 million tracks

So if you have yet to download the app or update the Spotify app, you will be able to find the download available on the iTunes App Store in the next few days.
