Spotify

Heard about this a while ago but never got round to having a look, just got reminded by Fusion on Twitter.

Pretty good, I can't see any limitations with the free package 0_o.

I use this as well but you do hear an advert every other song and it's annoying that you can't skip them.

Ah, it's quite like www.we7.com then. I'll give it a go in the near future. :)

The adverts come on every.. 5 or 7 songs? So every quarter of an advert, not too bad.

I've deleted all the music off my computer because I just don't need it with Spotify, they don't have the odd band (eg. Alexisonfire (N)) but it's an awesome service, with playlists, history and a radio system that lets you listen to any genre from any decade.. you can't rly go wrong.

It's an amazing program, if I was so tight I'd have bought the premium straight away, but like finch said, there's not much limitation with the free package, except for the adverts, which advertise more music which sometimes interests me :)

Highly recommend anyone to download it.

Agh, hiding away in the news section /facepalm. :P

I just started using it today and it's great because I ordered an album in CD form, but I have to wait a while to actually get it so I found it on Spotify and I've been listening to it through that. Brilliant

And the adverts really don't annoy me
So far they've been for bands that I like such as Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Bombay Bicycle Club. I assume the adverts are targetted to what you're listening to, which seems pretty cool to me.

Been trying this out for a good few hours now. It's incredible! Thanks for making me aware of this. I'm sure I'll continue to use it. :)

LOL we didn't even get around to it. Spotify's Radio is pretty useless, with filters like Rock, Metal and Alternative on we kept getting Cliff Richard and Neil Diamond. Something wrong there! :)

Back to Radio 1 for the office, with its many repeated tracks and vocoder pop/crap that seems to be the 'in' thing these days. </rant>

When we had all that good weather last weekend I had Spotify running on my laptop out in the garden while we had a BBQ. Everyone was just going up and queuing up tracks - worked an absolute treat (Y)
