Couple of weeks ago I brought my laptop with me when I was going to the Netherlands and even though in the Netherlands only the paid-for version is available I could play my in England installed (free) version of Spotify without any problem and, that's the best bit, without any ads either.

They let you use it for two weeks when travelling. After that, you have to register in whatever country you're in.

Loads of Skinny Puppy added this week, if that floats yer boat.
Is there anywhere that has the full catalogue for viewing? I look at the updates blog and I get artist notifications from http://freshspotify.com/ but I get the feeling there's loads of stuff I'll never see or know about because of the limitations of the search. Say you want to hear some old blues stuff but don't know the exact names of albums. Searching "blues" gets you 1329 albums, of which 12 are listed then it says "and 1317 more.." but the 1317 more bit isn't a link so there's no way to find out what "more" might include.
― the innermost wee guy (onimo), Friday, 20 March 2009 20:20 (fifteen years ago) link
they really need a list of their catalogue and also have a browse by genre/labels feature

Saxon is a band that has been around forever and has completely passed me by so I don't think they'll bring the teenage nostalgia.
I am currently rediscovering dodgy 80s industrialists The Cassandra Complex.

I tried to find some Black Metal and used Death Metal/Black Metal. Got Hammerfall, Soilwork etc. The closest to any Black Metal at all was Dimmu Borgir. Not really what I would call Black Metal…Why not make a real Black Metal genre with real Black Metal?

― Pfunkboy in blood drenched rabbit suit jamming in the woods (Herman G. Neuname), Saturday, 28 March 2009 15:59 (fifteen years ago) link
I'm not convinced, and at the moment I'm not using it enough to get annoyed with the ads.
I have noticed that when a cd has a hidden track at the beginning, Spotify plays it at the beginning of track 1 (eg on SFA's Guerrilla and Out Spaced), which is a bit weird, but probably easier than going through tracks individually and cutting them out and giving them names and worrying where you'd fit it in an album playlist.
