Droidify Spotify App Removed From The Android Market

Unofficial Spotify Android app, Droidify, appears to have been removed from the Android Market.

Created by a third-party developer, the Droidify application made use of Spotify’s open API and allowed users to listen to songs on the move as well as manage their own playlists from the music streaming service, using both 3G and Wi-Fi.

According to the app’s developer, bobcat_zed, the app has now been removed from the Android Market as it infringes Spotify’s own deals with the record labels.

“Just talked to @gustavs of Spotify and we agreed on me removing Droidify because it violates Spotify’s arrangements with the music labels.”

“Otherwise consequences could be that the labels would start removing music from Spotify, something that would be a great loss to us all.”

Spotify have previously demonstrated an official Spotify for Android app on the G1 handset, but the company have yet to announce when the app will be made available for Android users.
