Music service Spotify get over a few months entirely on central servers to users music to play. In the past few years, worked the service with p2p for the lag in the playback of a song at least.
Now is the p2p functionality is no longer necessary to transfer music quickly to play and can do everything from central servers, says Spotify compared to the Dutch site Torrentfreak. Spotify used the p2p function in the past few years since setting up central servers that millions of users operate with a library of millions of songs, probably an expensive operation.
That Spotify p2p used, it is no surprise, claims the Dutch site. One of the engineers from Spotify was part of the bittorrent protocol and the client uTorrent. The stopping of the stream through p2p find somewhere in the next few months.
