Yes, that's correct for Spotify on the desktop: http://www.spotify.com/en/help/faq/#tech (under "Why does Spotify use so many internet connections?"). Spotify on mobile phones, however, doesn't use P2P. The app is using a proprietary protocol. Rather slick engineering and a good user experience for a P2P app. > Cheers, > Michael Kriss _______________________________________________ p2p-hackers mailing list p2p-hackers@lists.zooko.com http://lists.zooko.com/mailman/listinfo/p2p-hackers
