Aspiro completes music streaming App with offline mode and recommendations – iPhone application submitted to Apple today

Aspiro Music has today submitted its in-house developed iPhone application for music streaming service WiMP for approval for Apple's AppStore. The new application provides most of the features from the PC version of the service and gives iPhone users access to the entire music library on the go.

"In our experience, the average processing time at Apple is a couple of weeks. We believe we have followed all the guidelines for the AppStore, so we hope that the client thus can be available to our customers within shortly" said Per Einar Dybvik, Head of Aspiro Music. WiMP is the brand for Aspiro Music’s streaming service in Norway, provided by Aspiro and Platekompaniet in cooperation with Telenor. WiMP is already available for PC, Mac, Linux and Android-based mobile phones, giving users unlimited access to music for 99 kroner a month. The service is focused on music discovery and an editorial staff continuously works to update the service with everything that happens on the Norwegian music scene. Users can save their favourites and playlists, and share with their friends via, for example, Facebook or Twitter. More info about the service can be found at www.wimp.no.
