Spotify

[Eakere]

I have spotify but pretty much rarely use it, if i'm after a specific song i usually grooveshark.net, too bad last.fm doesn't work on my campus

I had been using spotify since the beta trial in January. Once it went mainstream and incorporated adverts, I concluded Spotify INDUCED blue screens on my machine.

I now resort to youtube lol

Perhaps some good news for people who like the flexibility of Last.fm and the many full length tracks on Spotify?

Heard about Spotify on the gadget show but never used it. Maybe now I'll check it out.

Just had to ban it in the office, the network had slowed to a crawl with up to 8 simultaneous users! Now everyone has reverted to their MP3 players, the network is back up to speed.
(yes, we do have a cool boss who lets us listen to music while we work, if we choose...).

WAit until you get two long adverts back to back and then see how intrusive you find it

Just like (free) commercial radio really.
It is FREE after all, and you can always pay a small amount to be totally advert free.

£0.99 for a single advert-free day, or £9.99 for a whole month.

If you are going to pay, you might as well use Napster instead - same service but much better library. It's the same price for the streaming service, £9.99pm.

Best thing about Napster though is that it's fully compatible with the Squeezebox's (And Sonos) i have around the house (so is Last.FM) so i'm not tied to a PC.
