Mighty enables listening to Spotify offline while running

To offer a better solution to the problem of running with a phone, a team of Samsung, Qualcomm and MOG alums created Mighty. The iPod Shuffle-sized device allows you to listen to Spotify playlists without having to carry your phone, Engadget reports.

All you have to do is fire up the companion app, sync those offline playlists to the gadget via Bluetooth or WiFi and enjoy the music.

It turns out Mighty has been talking to the streaming service about the project for over a year. In fact, the device uses features that are available to Spotify users already and it complies with the required monthly sync for royalty purposes.

With Spotify, you're allowed up to three offline devices, so Mighty just counts as one of those.

2GB of built-in memory stores your tunes, which Mighty says is good enough for 48 hours of music. As far as battery life goes, you can expect five hours of playback before needing to recharge. However, the company is working to double that time, and aims to push a software update that will do just that after launch.
