Spotify, the much-hyped European digital music service, has secured a deal to launch a mobile offering on Apple's iPhone, iPod Touch and phones using the Android platform, it said today.

Sweden's Spotify said a mobile application was now available for its premium subscribers in the UK, Sweden, Spain, France and Norway on the three devices, and in Finland for owners of the iPhone and iPod Touch.

The application will allow premium users to access millions of tracks from the service, previously only available via a computer, wherever they go.

Spotify has won plaudits from the music industry, which has been hammered by piracy, for offering a better and smoother alternative to illegal sites. It has more than six million users in Europe and over five million tracks available.

Users of the service can either listen to music for free and in exchange for watching adverts, or pay a monthly premium fee to avoid the ads.
