Spotify offers one click music buying from 7Digital
Spotify has improved the way its users buy music online. Up until now, users have had to use the "Buy From" feature to download individual tracks from its digital download partner 7Digital.
This meant completing a number of steps before being directed to an external website. But now Spotify users can choose to buy from a library of 8 million tracks without having to leave Spotify.
Rather than having to right-click on a track/album to discover if the music is available to buy they can now see exactly what music is available, with 'buy' buttons now visible either underneath the album cover or next to a particular track.
