Spotify

[Bobbyjames]

anyone here use Spotify? basically it's just an online music streaming service. I don't think it's available in the US yet, but it's in a few countries in Europe like the UK.

http://www.spotify.com/en/

anyone who uses it have any cool playlists they want to share?

[Max]

I mostly use it to check out bands I've not heard of. Or other songs from bands where I only have a few songs.

[Bobbyjames]

I've been using it quite a bit lately, mainly like you, to check out new bands. I have it on my ipod now which is pretty cool, you can download playlists on it and use the music whenever you want without having to eb connected to the internet, just like downloading the music.

Sweden FTW! We have both the nobel prize and spotify!

[samueeL]

Use it all the time. I like the radio feature the most.

Not available in my country.
Not quite a shock, even food is pretty rare here, let alone win music sites.

Did you pay for pro bobby?

[Boni]

Yeah, I use it now and again to find out about new bands. I use it under Wine of course but it as far as I know it works pretty well.

yea I paid for it last month to see it it's worth it. if you can afford to spend a tenner a month on it and you have an iphone/ipod touch/posh phone then I think it is worth it just so you can download upto 3333 songs in playlists and use it offline.

What a random number of songs xD

[Max]

I considered pro but decided it's too expensive when you don't physically own the songs, just the ability to access them. I already own all of my music anyway and £120 a year is a lot of money!

I know, I thought that when I first read it!

yea, even though you're basically downloading the songs onto your phone/ipod/computer, you can't do anything else with them other than listen to them through spotify. I suppose it's worth it if you would use it offline on your phone alot, but if you're just using it on your comouter then there's no point really. depends how much you usually spend on music as well I guess.

My country hasn't discovered fire yet. :(

[Jake-41]

Available in the us, lol. Im not gonna use it, though.

[Boni]

You need to invited by the way if you want to use it free just to let you guys know.

[Bobbyjames]

I wondered why it kept telling me I had invites. when I signed up ages ago, you didn't need an invite.

[Boni]

Yeah, I have no invites... I was going to invite a few friends but I wasn't allow invites for some unknown reason to me so they just share mine now. I wish I had my own now :(

[Bobbyjames]

for anyone that does have Spotify, check out this playlist, a few gems in here!

[Jake]

I have spare invites, Boni. like.. 12 of them...

Yeah, i pay for pro so i can use it on my phone.

Streams well over 3g and Edge, and even works (Not greatly, but still) on a good GPRS signal.

Love it. Also means I can save my phone's memory for more apps! :D

[Bobbyjames]

I think I only have 2 invites at the minute. I take it you get more each month you pay
