(MSNBC) -- On Tuesday, Spotify announced a new (and free) radio feature which
could tempt folks way from good ol' Pandora and other competing music
streaming services.
The new feature will allow those who use
Spotify's iOS apps to stream an unlimited amount of music from the
service's catalog of over 16 million songs.
It will be possible to
create an unlimited number of streaming radio stations (based on songs,
playlists, albums or artists). Those stations can be customized by
users, who have the option of "liking" songs, which makes Spotify play
more similar tunes.
If you do not subscribe to Spotify's premium
service, you will occasionally hear ads — just like you would while
listening to ordinary radio stations. Premium subscribers get an ad-free
streaming experience.
