Spotify launches standalone mobile app that gives artists streaming data and more controls

Through the app, artists can update their public profile — including biography, picks, and playlists — from their phones. They can also view real-time data on the number of listens their new music racks up after it’s released, as well as demographic information that breaks down who is listening to their tunes. - Paul Sawers, VentureBeat [via/web:http://streaming-tv.us]
