thanking u sub pop & spotify
If it lets me listen to Twister by Unrest without buying it or taking the time to look for a download (and it does) it's worth the $9.99 this month. I can't imagine that something similar isn't true for everyone else. I still want Drag City (who are also absent from Rhapsody).

Surely you'd care about he opportunity to easily search for, eg house music or something else you're moderately interested in? It's never gonna have every free mixtape on it but you're gonna listen to most of them anyway.
As a research tool or just something for happily stumbling across things Spotify is pretty much amazing.
Also sharemyplaylists.com us worth repping for - it's good to just search for 'Balearic' or 'Berlin 2011' and just happily listen for an hour or two.
― Matt DC, Monday, 25 July 2011 15:54 (twelve years ago) link
yeah that seems like exactly what it's for, i.e. not for going deeper in a genre you're already deep in.

Anybody having problem with Spotify stopping after playing ads sometimes? Lately I've run into an issue where Spotify will play an ad through to the end, but then it won't do anything else... it doesn't play another ad or the next song on my playlist, it just stops. If I click on another song to play it, the pop up comes up saying "'song x' will play as soon as the current ad is finished', but nothing is playing. So far the only solution I've found is to shut down Spotify and restart it - works, but very annoying. I read somewhere that cleaning out the cache can help, but that doesn't seem to make a difference with this problem.

idk if it's me or the program but there have been a couple times when i've had to restart it to get it to play tunes again
― markers, Tuesday, 26 July 2011 03:59 (twelve years ago) link
same for me. the free us version of spotify is pretty terrible.
― brotherlovesdub, Tuesday, 26 July 2011 04:17 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, this happened to me once. I figured I was lucky that it was just once.

I've had it just stop in the middle of songs a couple of times on the paid version. changing to another track fixes it though.

LAME
That album "The Chronic" by that dude Dr. Dre is also missing.
― billstevejim, Tuesday, 26 July 2011 05:31 (twelve years ago) link
Also some artists have individual songs missing... "You Made Me Realise" & "Sister Ray" .. weird..
― billstevejim, Tuesday, 26 July 2011 05:33 (twelve years ago) link
billstevejim i cant imagine spotify had time to negotiate with DR. DRE

wonder if it's a death row thing

who even owns the death row masters? didn't they get auctioned off or something
they have doggystle, altho they list it as having been released in 2009

no japandroids :( hopefully that will get fixed.
― billstevejim, Tuesday, 26 July 2011 06:15 (twelve years ago) link
It's probably a Death Row thing. They don't have every prominent album ever made and complaining it doesn't is kinda entitled bullshit.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 26 July 2011 09:25 (twelve years ago) link
The Chronic was on UK Spotify a couple of months ago then disappeared.

Complaining about them not having some fairly obvious canonical releases was more responding to expectations based on hype rather than feeling entitled to it, but it's nore like this didn't fall short for my purposes i'm other ways so ymmv

Make sure you only post comments like these specifically after I speak up... especially since I never alluded to either of these.. people were mentioning stuff that was missing, so I added to the list. So far I love it.. I'm very happy and I don't feel entitled to get all music for free.. although I do think it's dumb for all musicians to not embrace this as an opportunity for gettin serious-ass paid.

Japandroids are on Death Row?
― PAJAMARALLS? PAJAMALWAYS! (DJP), Tuesday, 26 July 2011 21:33 (twelve years ago) link
No, Polyvinyl... all recent Of Montreal releases are missing as well.
They have all of Doggystyle and pretty much everything Tupac pre-death so I think it's nothin but a Dr. Dre thing and not a Death Row thing..
― billstevejim, Tuesday, 26 July 2011 21:45 (twelve years ago) link
I'm just saying, I think Matt and Tracer were aiming at J0rdan rather than you with that comment

As long as I'm covered...
Who distributes Polyvinyl? These bands need money.

If those figures are true though, the (legal) digital age devalued music at an alarming rate.
