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

^Hmmm...doesn't seem to be working for me :/ Thanks anyway.

Odd, still gives me the sign up form here as it did before.

Unfortunately, I wasn't given any invites when I signed up otherwise I'd PM you one.

EDIT: Heh, you must have edited just after I posted. Atleast it worked.

Thats ok for the workaround BUT.

They are now finding out that you registered with a proxy :( so you only have 14 days of trial with it.

If anyone could make a program that could launch it with a uk ip, that would be great :D

Thanks,

David.

P.S : For Spotifyr in C:\Users\[username here]\AppData\Local\Spotify\Storage for vista is where it stores the file, under .FILE encoded under .ogg i think :/

I tried it via the proxy and each time i submit to create the account all i get is this

$('languagebutton').style.display = 'none';

var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-5784146-1"); pageTracker._trackPageview();

This app has been even more impressive than I had expected

QFT. It's so FAST!

And I didn't have the "current song stops playing when I search" problem that was mentioned here. The song just kept playing while I searched. (Y) Also, when I left it for a while, it would just play the following songs in the search results, as if the search results were a dynamic playlist of sorts. VERY slick :cool: :yes:

Umm yeah. They patched the proxy -.-

@ zach_

This is also what happened, since you registered through the proxy. I would advise you to run Spotify through a UK proxy (to fool it), if thats possible.

This site is available for me in Canada and lets me play the entire song of my choice

Its kind of like last.fm=no software install

http://www.imeem.com/discover/

imeem is a great option if you want to play songs on the web.

    • AltSendme 0.4.2 is out.
    • Simple answer is yes, you will still get the Windows updates and as long as browser is up to date, you will be good. Only thing secure boot does is protect you against boot level threats and make it harder to install other OS's. I've been looking into this pretty thoroughly lately myself as wifes computer has secure boot disabled plus my other, older computers that run Linux, don't have secure boot enabled. Have seen all kinds of questions about this on the Linux Mint and MX Linux forums. Just don't suddenly enable secure boot now.
    • How many other companies will follow Ford's lead? Or, have they already gotten lazy and become enslaved to AI--and now can't figure out how to get out of that mess.
