off-line play mode

Music Spotify are working on an off-line play mode. In other words, playing music you've already streamed without the need to be on-line. Wow.

Certainly wow. That really is heading towards the free music model. For some reason i see record company opposition to this.

Well, I'm hoping they'll be more relaxed about it - especially since Spotify will still presumably gather user statistics and simply upload them when you go back to streaming online, and adverts will be streamed and stored along with the music, so the user experience needn't be so different. Though if Spotify are really clever they could use this feature as a key addition to the premium service -- it would certainly make me consider stumping up the tenner per month.
