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

I blocked basically as why does it need to access my router? No program should have to access the router in order to run. Call me paranoid, erm where did I put that tin foil hat :p, but I don't like things that do unexpected things or want access to things it shouldnt.

Had to post again. This application is simply awesome! I'm like a kid with a new toy! :rofl:

Can't believe how good it actually is. I've been searching for random things to catch it out too and there's only been a very select few it hasn't found.

I don't know much about networking, but doesn't everything that requires net access, need to connect to your router first?

No nothing should ask to connect to the routers config page (192.168.1.1) or even want to connect to it, hence my paranoia :/

I've asked the developers so hopefully will get an answer to why you had this problem shortly.

Johnston,

Do you know of any of the new features which will be added by the developers? Or are they trying to keep the client as minimalist as possible?

A few things I've noticed so far:

  • When changing song with shuffle enabled, can the playlist focus to the new song
  • Ability to display the size of the playlist you have created
  • Search box which can filter songs from your created playlist

Haven't noticed any bugs yet though so thumbs up!

Just to add my fedback here too: Awesome service! I'm really interested to see where this goes in the near future... not quite sure how they manage to licence all this music for streaming - one of the best things about it is the sheer diversity and amount of albums / tracks available.

I can't fault this -

I tried the acid test, which to me is searching for Classical music. I only listen to some these days, although it dominated my childhood.

In my experience, finding classical music is very difficult on the internet, free or otherwise. Here, try searching for something as obscure (relatively) like "Winchester Cathedral Choir" & you strike gold. The *second* (much harder & rarer) movement of the Moonlight Concerto - easy.

I'm quite a cynical person & I am very very impressed.

    • 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
    • I made a new Cinematic/Trailer for the game, this will be the intro, still a work in progress!  I also updated the Steam page with a ton of new screenshots! 👀 https://store.steampowered.com/app/3925340/Incoherence_Dark_Rooms/
