The good news is that this is likely to happen sooner rather than later, with mobile apps in development, and the Android app in particular looking very good (and apparently offering off-line use). In the meantime, you can use the Last.fm app to listen to music you've scrobbled through Spotify.

If they could find a wayto do a licencing deal where you can make a protected copy of your favourite songs their business model might be a little more robust. As the record companies are only receiving a tiny revenue for each play, surely it would be better to give you to keep the track for a nominal sum? Even 10 pence per download has got to be better than the revenue coming in at the moment. At the moment there’s no way for you to use spotify on the move, for example on your ipod.
