Spotify - Amazing Legal music App


Question

I came across www.spotify.com a few days ago, and I must say it's amazing! Been using it ever since, and haven't had a need to open itunes at all. Has pretty much every song I search for, and plays instantly with no buffering or problems etc, for a beta its very good. Anyway, it was invite only but today it's gone public so anyone and everyone can sign up. Give it a go, see what you think, i think it's a new revolution in how we will listen to music in the future.

Here's a review: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=LQC2eBQ7Lsk

Just signed up for this. First impressions are very very good. Small application size, fast, easy to use, and great sound quality.

Now what we need is a mobile client, and Airport Speaker capability. Still, its early days :D I love it!

Thanks for the recommendation. I'll be installing this on more computers in the near future :D

I'm guessing these are all pretty much like Last.FM?

The first two are meant for playing music. Last.fm is more so for sampling, and it's really difficult to find a full song to play (the only way I can find full music is to listen to a radio, but that's too random). Sure, there's the occasional free track, but that's harder to come by.

Yeah I see what you mean now, if you wanna hear something specific LastFM will frustrate the snot outta you. Seeqpod took me right to it...several versions even. Nice, thanks.

It's basically like having itunes or a music app, with pretty much every song you could want. For me, it searches, finds, and plays just as fast as if i had the actual mp3 on my laptop itself. Even skipping into the middle of a song etc is instant.

Not available in the USA and says it's invite only. :/

I found a working co.uk proxy and used a british postal number ;)

(try to find one at; http://www.xroxy.com/proxy-country-GB.htm )

I LOVE Spotify, now, i only wait for Windows Media Center intergration :D

BTW; I'm in norway, invite only here, but in the UK, it's open for all :p

Seems premium is the only way to use it over here after going through the proxy above, everything else is still listed as "Not available in your country". Premium for 9.99 GBP p/month? No thanks. I've been trying to find a Last.FM alternative, because Last.FM doesn't work with my ISP (HughesNet).

    • Deal for those who want 1900 size electronics in their house? with 2026/7 hardware mhm.. not nice
    • Cheap labour, the same as the U.K. China pays their people pittance.
    • Those people that come over here on boats are already in a safe country, if they want to come over here then do so correctly though the right channels. I was born in the U.K, my family that came over here came so via the proper means. My partner came here via the correct channels, she also became a British citizen, she knows more about this country than most of them that was born here, including myself, she worked hard to do what she does. She will stick up for this country and have done a few times, when people from her own part of world have put the U.K down. We are not going to agree, all I said to start with is that maybe Trump has the right idea with this America first thing and maybe we should start doing the same. Maybe not as drastic as what he is doing, but we do need to sort this country out, we need to sort out tech instead of relying on the U.S and others. Again you have not shown why you are so annoyed that we have left the E.U and this is what it is all about? If you don't live in the U.K and live in the E.U are you annoyed that we left your little club? If you live in the U.K and is pro-E.U, then fair enough then I can see how it annoys you. Are you one of these people who lives in the U.K and have a holiday chalet in the E.U and can now only stay there for so long? If so, then that is bad luck. As I have posted before, I have no problem with people coming here to work, as long as they do if via the proper channels. We are out of the E.U, people voted out, and maybe if more people had voted instead of sitting on their backsides the results would have been different. But they like the E.U and our government thought no we would not vote to leave. How wrong they were, surprised me. I expected to wake up in the morning and hear on the radio that we voted to stay. As I said, we are out and have been for 10 years, we are not going to go back in anytime soon if we ever do, so we all need to make the best of how things are. Anyway, this is supposed to be a tech site.
    • Tim Cook: "The US over time began to stop having as many vocational kinds of skills." What's the point of wasting time getting those skills if you can't get a job with them? Good Lord, maybe he and his cohort of CEO's who exported all these jobs to China should just shut the f**k up :D
