Popular European music streaming service Spotify announced today its plans to launch a new music downloading service, as well as software that supports syncing content to non-iOS iPods (iPod nano, iPod classic, iPod shuffle, etc.)

You've been telling us how much you love discovering, sharing and talking about music in Spotify – and you've created well over 200 million playlists to prove it. But you've also said you're listening to a huge amount of music on your iPods, and that getting your Spotify playlists onto them as MP3s has been a serious hassle, forcing you to juggle multiple music players. That's until now…

As of today, Spotify is making it possible for everyone to take their playlists with them in one lean, green music machine.

Spotify's new download service allows users to purchase entire playlists with a single click, all for a low price. Spotify software will display an iPod nano, iPod shuffle, or iPod classic in its sidebar from now on as well, allowing users to sync content to their devices.

Are you excited for this? Does it affect you at all?
