Spotify Lite

The Swedish company behind Spotify has developed a lighter version of its music streaming application to allow more people to listen to music at any time.

Music streaming everywhere with Spotify Lite

Called Spotify Lite, this lighter version of the classic Spotify is initially being developed for emerging markets where networks are often weaker and coverage is less extensive than here. However, the music app is also finding its audience in Europe. The interface of Spotify Lite has been simplified compared to the standard version, but remains intuitive. Some features have been removed to save storage space on the phone, in order to avoid overloading the internal memory. The application now only takes up 10 MB of space, instead of the 27 MB required by the standard version. It's still possible to listen to favourite tracks, random tracks and create playlists.

Spotify Lite is a great alternative when the connection is weak, or the phone plan is not expandable. You can still listen to millions of tracks for free and save money on your plan. In addition, there's the option to limit data consumption by customising it. Spotify Lite is currently only available on Android, and can be downloaded for free from a PC or mobile phone, compatible with Windows.
