Spotify

It's as seamless as they can get it as seperate files. Plus there is a slight fade in and out on every track on Spotify.

There are a few mixes as single files, good if you are on a free account as there's no adverts for an hour.

just checked and it does seem marginally better on premium, but still not seamless

Thank you both

yeah I don't think it's really improveable, there isn't usually anything on a track to indicate that it should be straight to the next one without a gap. And then there's obvious things like you might not be listening to the next track next, e.g. if you've got shuffle on or you've got that one track in another playlist.
There's also only so much streaming of the next track you want it doing in advance of the current track finishing.

This sounds very useful, If anyone has a spare invite it would be much apreciated. Email in trust.

My spotify is telling me I'm in offline mode and won't play anything. Help?

 

[Moredhel]

It's been down all afternoon. No idea why.

As long as it's not just me

Gah, wondered why it wouldn't let me search for music :<, bogus.

Spotify free user here. A very good service. It's also nice to hear the odd english advert for British Gas.

Broadened my music taste so so much since getting spotify. It really is feaking awesome, even on a free acount still (purely due to being poor)!

I just bought premium, do you have to do anything to take advantage of the 320kbps? Download a codec or something possibly?

I've gone back to free mode now, couldn't justify the price.

You have to enable "high bitrate" in the program's preferences, which is not on by default (bit crafty really). That's it.

Done! sounds the same and I have a decent setup.

For my needs, occassional listening to new tracks, random party playlists and killing time, the free version is perfect. £10 is just a bit too much for the benefits it would offer me.

I've had it for a while, luckily before the invite only sign-ups kicked in.

Best music related program for a good while IMO.
