Integrated Spotify on the Xperia X10 on the Way
Posted by: QuBic in Sony Ericsson, xperia x10, tags: mediascape, spotify, x10, xperiaOver on the official Sony Ericsson blog, Rikard Skogberg has posted a video demonstration showing the free music streaming service Spotify integrated with the content management systems on the Xperia X10 – namely Timescape and Mediascape and working on the android handset.
Swedish mobile communications operator Telia had asked Sony Ericsson to test out the integration between Spotify, also a Swedish company and the X10 in the hope of bringing another service to it’s users and as Skogberg stated, will be presented on the Xperia X10 in the following way:
“The integration makes Spotify appear as an online music service in Mediascape and songs played through Spotify shows up as event tiles in Timescape”

It is expected that the service will be available in the UK at some point however, it isn’t yet clear whether users would need to own a premium package of Spotify to use the service as Spotify curently only offer a mobile version of their services for those who have purchased the premium package which runs out at £10 a month in the UK. There are no further details available yet on release dates for the service. More information is bound to follow though as Spotify integration could be very popular on the Xperia X10.
