Spotify

[sonofhal]

Things I love -

Collaborative playlists
Being able to take a ton of music anywhere without using any hard drive space
Albums streaming before release
Loads of Huey Lewis!

So, how does this differ from the Internet? Which is a tool I use to listen to anything I want.

this is fashionable.

I'm in, thank you thread

If anyone still needs an invite, here.

I'm really liking Spotify and I figure it's a good excuse to start collecting all of Zappa's stuff on Vinyl or I already have it .

[TallGuyCM]

I'm in. Not sure if I'll use it a ton, but it's always fun to explore new programs so this'll do for now.

[paulb]

Wow, Im totally in now. Holy shit. Unbelievable collection.

One question, when I type in an artist like Beastie Boys, then click artist: Beastie Boys, and see their discography+remixes all that stuff.... then click on one of my playlists, and want to get back to the Beastie Boys page with all the info, how do I get back there? do i need to type in their name and press search again?

[paulb]

Just figured it out, click on the album artwork, and it pops back up....

[nathanfairchild]

many thanks to Mak Attack for the invite.

[indietron]

I'd love an invite!

[getbetter]

I'm excited to listen to see what everyone's playlist will look.

[shakermaker113]

jesus fucking christ. I thought the visual ads were annoying. moving from place to place and occasionally obscuring my current playlist. and I have had AUDIO inserted in between my songs. WTF. nobody who helped hype up this app mentioned that.

[TallGuyCM]

Yeah, since I was making food when I had the Mister Heavenly album on I couldn't even tell if the ad was after the album was finished or during.

[getbetter]

you can also link up your last.fm account to spotify.

[shakermaker113]

the only potentially interesting things I see so far are the occasional album stream pre-release, and the ability to share playlists/what you're listening to with friends.

needing to download a client is a deal breaker though. definitely not paying for this.

[TallGuyCM]

I've had problems with Firefox and Chrome crashing a ton, so if using a client means this won't happen then I'm ok with that.

[cutterbutter]

I just want to listen to the Mister Heavenly album... where go? I saw it earlier but had to leave.

How come your not on my friends list cutter?

It says the tracks are not available... O well. I'll try again.

Is there a different friends thing then the Facebook stuff? I see you, Chris, and Paul all on there.

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

I would like an invite please. Anyone?

[RageAgainstTheAoki]

How long does it usually take to receive an invite after you sign up on the site? Been a few days for me.

[Gribbz]

Should I even bother with this if I already use what.cd and last.fm?

[getbetter]

I hate last.fm radio function and it's nice not to worry about ratios and filling up memory space.

all your Spotify shit scroobles with Last.fm.... just type in your login once in Spotify. and if u want the physical files and to be able to put it on your ipod, keep downloading shit. but if u just wanna use it like an iTunes, its fairly flawless. but ya, the ads are annoying as shit...but they're worth it to have all this free music at your disposal.

[LickTheLizzard]

finally got in. can't use it at work

[arthurbang]

Got my account a couple of days ago. I really like it so far. I am listening to the BBC 6 Music playlist that someone keeps up to date. We should really make some kind of collaborative playlist for this board.

My user name is bohnjaggs. I need some more friends on it.

[paulb]

How do I find large playlists from magazines or pitchfork type places?

[arthurbang]

Check out sharemyplaylists.com. They have a lot of published playlists there. I really like the idea of radio stations, magazines, blogs, etc creating ongoing playlists of their current favorite songs.

And make to sure to post them here so we can all find them too!

[bleep]

i upgraded to an ad-free account. i'm quite smitten by it. that said, the catalog for artists i typically listen to isn't as deep as i'd like it to be.

[paulb]

Thanks for the heads up. Awesome!
