Spotify

Just seems such a simple idea, I assumed the only reason no-one had done it before was legal difficulties.
I'd imagine it's not massively different to playing music in a bar, once you get right down to it. Collect information on what songs are played, pass this on to the PRS/record labels, and let them distribute their share of the cash.
 
Any chance of an invite code from anyone please? :) My mail is in trust.
as far as I'm aware you can still join without one by following the right link, two ticks and I'll find it

oh, the link appears to have stopped working like that now, need your email and they're not in trust any more, either mail it to me through trust or if I can dig it out from when I've had it before I'll send you one.

Used to use it but not anymore.

I just bought Premium, it is absolutely amazing! :eek:
Premium seems a total waste. £10 a month with dmr riddled music.

Skysongs £7.49 a month and 15 songs a month to keep drm free and all at 320kbps
As far as I know if you download a track with Spotify premium it's yours forever?

Nope it's drm riddled and is only good whilst you continue to pay.

from spotify :confused:


yep right click on it, but it just buys it through 7digital.com.

Spotify is brilliant, and I'm so glad the music industry is supporting it and not frothing in indignant rage over its evil internettery.

It's not a waste as you still get double bit-rate quality music, no ads and offline storage. It's especially not a waste if you have a Nokia, iPhone, Android phone and want instant access to 6 million songs anywhere you go. And you can offline store the songs on your phone.

That said, I've not gone for it yet

if you have a compatible phone it makes more sense. But you are still left with nothing if you cancel. Compared to something like skysongs it seems expensive and pointless.
I expect sky songs is usable on phones with flash.
 
Been using Spotify Premium on my N95 for the last few weeks and will continue to do so. I've been a fan of Spotify since it came out but having it on my mobile is just the bee's knees. No more transfering MP3s from the computer to the mobile as it's all done over wifi.

Sure, £10 is a lot but then I will never have to buy another CD unless it's something obscure. I suppose renting music, movies & games is the future. People are happy enough to pay a monthly fee for Sky etc so it makes sense that music will follow.

Got 11 invites, if anybody wants one just message me your email and I'll get it sent.
 
I have Spotify Premium and love it, use it with my iPhone so get a lot of usage out of it! Plug it in my car to and from work each day and listen to music on my laptop. Find it so much easier than downloading music and putting on my phone or ripping CD's.

Money well spent in my opinion.

Hopefully more people will start paying and in turn Spotify persuade more record companies to join.
 
I was surprised at how many obscure artists it has that I wouldn't have expected, it's mostly just the newer music from them artists but that could be down to a label change.

Can't live without spotify these days. Since I've been using it for nearly a year my whole way I listen to music has changed, I don't download songs anymore.

The appeal for me is that it is that there are millions of songs just a click away and it plays instantly with no buffering.

I got three months premium at Christmas and it's excellent if you have a compatible mobile, you have instant access to anything.

Oh and it works prefectly on Linux which was a need of mine :D
 
I don't know if/when they'll do it again but I signed up through one of the swiftcover advert emails, they got sent out to random users offering random discounts from 10% to 75%, I got a 30% off one so I'm signed up for £6ish a month, was definitely enough to sway it for me
 
I'd love an invite to try please, if anybody has one spare!

Thank you so much! :D
 
I'd say my only criticism is that on dj mixes the transition isn't seamless between songs. Unless they save that for premium?
