Spotify's streaming audio service will soon be able to reference and play MP3 files stored in the onboard memory of our smartphones. This is a new feature that will allow you to enjoy your favourite music from a single interface.

A tweet from engineer and blogger Jane Manchun Wong confirms the rumour. In the screenshot she has posted we can see the possibility to list music files stored on one's mobile device in their library. Until now, this was only possible on a computer, via a dedicated application or online service, accessible from any browser.
