Spotify on iPhone: nice app, but no multitasking
The Spotify application for the iPhone extends the usefulness of the service greatly – at the cost of a tenner a month. However the app has one show-stopping flaw: you can’t play music when the application is in the background.
This is not a hindrance shared by the iPhone or iPod Touch’s default music application – and even on the earliest iPods, you could play Blocks or check your diary while music continued to play. For some this may merely be an irritating quirk, but for others it could be a deal-breaker. The whole point of getting a top-of-the-range music player is for its versatility.
