Spotify - anyone heard of it?

Gah, I'm supposed to be working! Close Spotify. Close ILX.

Search for "phuture", the only two tracks by them are on that mix.

And here's a link to the entire Rekids catalogue:

thanks jona!

All those "VIP" features are already available to free users, with the exception of ad-free.

I wonder if that means that they won't be (available to free users) for long.

Search by genre works for free users, as I already posted.

Spotify - anyone heard of it?

Sub Club Anniversary mix is great but mostly old stuff

yeah old stuff all good. I just want a few house mixes to play when I'm cooking or something. This Tiefschwarz one is great btw.

Some posts on a last fm forum about spotify http://www.last.fm/forum/21717/_/517178/49
about half way down then again in the last post on that page.

A couple of Agalloch albums are on Spotify now. I recommend them to all!

Enjoying it, Neil?

yes it was good!

Some great Spotify news: the entirety of Black Sabbath's back catalogue is now available!!!

They're pushing the adverts more now, aren't they? You never used to get two at a time. And fuck off, Wired magazine with your "sorry for interrupting your listening".

Funnily enough, apart from whistling cunt, i find the adverts for bands/acts FAR more annoying.

It was kind of inevitable they'd up the advert frequency. How else can they make money? But it's particularly annoying when you're listening to classical music.

how much would y'all be willing to pay for (ad-less) this again?

£5 a month is somehow more easy to swallow than the current £10, for me.

No, you whiny-sounding fuck, I have not been to the HMV sale. And no, I can't "get someone to cover" for me because I'm reading for an essay. And, furthermore, if I *was* going, you most certainly couldn't come. Now fuck off.

Still: music from £3? Films from £3? Hmm ...

apart from whistling cunt

Here, I've not heard that git for ages. Have they canned that one? Good.

I'd pay £5 a month, yeah.

Funnily enough, apart from whistling cunt, i find the adverts for bands/acts FAR more annoying.

Yeah, this is true (I mean, I find this also). At least the adverts are just adverts, and it's a bit like listening to local radio or something, but listening to music and then hearing completely different music really annoys me. Especially the radio 2 jazz woman.

The Wired adverts are just really annoying, like they've heard the Roberta from Spotify ad and based the whole thing on that. And there's more than one ad, so you can't directly tune out of it.

I don't know if I use it regularly enough to warrant subscribing (although I did just re-subscribe to last.fm without really knowing why I had), but I also think the £1 a day thing is too much. Maybe if I was having a party and playing only Spotify all night then I'd stump up one whole pound. Maybe £5.

It'd be nice if Roberta from Spotify or indeed anyone else from Spotify would read this and think 'well, there's £15 a month we wouldn't have had otherwise' and gave us special rates.

Shame there's not a spotify forum , like they have with last fm, where we could all tell them that.

You can comment on the blog, and the Spotify guy does actually answer questions there.

last fm forum is so dense, they're probably better off without one

ok i'll post and all of you post after me then?

Congratulations.
If you bring the price down to £5 a month I’ll happily subscribe. I’m sure you would get a lot more premium users at that price too. £10 a month is a lot in this climate.
Any plans on changing the price?
Who else would subscribe if it was £5 a month?

Have done so too. Solidarity, brothers and sisters!

Done.

Yeah! bring down the man by paying a different man some money to stop listening to the whistling man who is still on there, just not as frequent as he used to be.

damn that whistlin' man

I just hope more ppl post about halving subscription so that Spotify take notice.

just realised a massive chunk of the touch catalogue is on there

pity they only email me when they add an artist from my last.fm top list. and i cant be arsed looking through pages and pages of stuff in alphabetical order in that google document thing.

It's not that hard to skim the google doc.

They added 140 squillion Grateful Dead albums this week.

I see there's a couple of Saint Vitus albums on there

Lazycame Finbegin album 12 spotify:album:1RedM5z0zcC8q6gYU2jSON

I think they must have finally captured every album in the world ever if they've managed to get to this crap.

who?

Lez Zeppelin

spotify:album:6kTKatDLQfs5SGm2ADJ2Qi

All girl Zep tribute act. I'm going to have to hear it.

xp
Lazycame is William Reid of JAMC fame making an absolute arse of a solo "career".

my mum and dad listened to the Faryl album on spotify today. Sadly I think theyre going to buy it so they can play it in the car.

My turn.

Who?

Some opera singing kid from a tv program

Ah, I'll pass thanks :)

Turns out one hit wonder Lisa Loeb has loads of albums. Things you learn from huge google spreadsheets.

They're still tagging all the MIA. stuff as M.I.A. - and presumably paying the wrong artist (unless the money goes to the record co).

some of the tagging is awful so it doesnt bring up the proper album pics on last.fm
