On: Show HN: Spotify for Independent Music

The design looks good, and I've been playing the music for half an hour (/hot/) and it seems to be excellent so far. Good job.

I hope there's an API or a mobile app plan in the future.

We do have an iPhone app coming out soon. However we plan to release that as a premium feature. If you had to pay 99 cents per week for the premium version, would you still be interested? Of course there will be more premium features included.

1. Is it 99c/wk for ad-free listening? (sounds reasonable) 2. Does that also provide API access so I can mess with it for personal use? (would be good)

[gshahlot → alphakappa]

Yes, 99 c/wk for :

1. ad-free listening 2. iPhone app (to start with) 3. weekly curated playlists 4. higher quality streaming

API not right now, but maybe later.
