cool, sent a pretty-please

WmC, you're in http://i.imgur.com/zi7hd.gif

DJP, i am enjoying ur playlist v much.

I have also discovered that I have a whopping 12 invitations going spare.

E-mailed you, sonderangerbot.

Thanks for the invitation, I am now listening to the 50s playlist.

Cool, thanking u, sonderangerbot!

Is 'All Eternals Deck' available in the US as it's not in the UK?

It is! That is very sad it's not available in the UK ;_;

Strange, because several other MG albums are available including 'LOTWTC'. Will have to get JD's people to speak to our people.

If you're okay with signing up for a third-party thing (which you can immediately UN sign up for), you can get a free code: http://klout.com/perk/Spotify/SpotifyFreeAccounts

It's saying the next song will play after a commercial message, but there is no commercial message. Some kinks to deal with here.

Thanx a million, sonderangerbot!

Thanks to DJP's playlist, I've now heard ICP for the first time.

Oh crazy, this is importing all of my iTunes files.

Is thanks really the right word?

Maybe not...

Mil gracias?

The absence of Sub Pop releases on this is bugging me. Rdio has Sup Pop, but is missing other things that (for me) are major gaps. Mog and Rhapsody seemed to have decent libraries (maybe not quite as expansive) but I found the user experience to be quite painful. Basically, I'd be willing to give somebody money for the ability to consume music this way on an ongoing basis, but no one has quite hit the mark.

And no web app whatsoever on Spotify makes no sense to me.

lol I was wondering how ppl would react to that song

Oh man, which ICP song?

"Hey Vato" off of one of the Forgotten Freshness comps

In retrospect, I should have picked a Ringmaster track but hey

can someone explain the point of the iphone app if you don't have the premium subscription? i synced some playlists but when i try and click them it says that it's for premium members only

Better than saying it's for Closers.

there is no point to the iPhone app if you don't have the premium subscription

but the point of the premium subscription is the iphone app. do it. (i have been labouring this but point but i love them do not work for them just fyi)

mookie &,jon, sent invites your way. don't blame me when you end up listening to ICP.

it only imported 18GB out of 100+gb from my itunes library. Is there a limit?

thanks sonderangerbot! i actually only signed up to listen to ppl's playlists, so i guess i've got ICP coming

I didn't put any ICP on this one... YET

anyone else besides sonderangerbot got invites? (don't want to bog him down with too many requests)

This Spotify invites thing is so 2009.

ø snap

Seems to me the invites thing is about as much creating a buzz as managing the take up by new users.

Got one dayo if you want. DM if you still need one. Got a few in fact, if anyone else wants one.

There's a Spotify playlist for the ilx all-time jazz albums nominations.

It doesn't look like Spotify will be sending out free ones anytime soon, I see now on their website that you can start "winning" invites next week.

Thanks for the invite sonderangerbot!

thanks gamaliel!

argh, no gapless playback. annoying

i'm a free rider only in it for ppl's playlists

and the ads they insert after every few tracks are alarming/hilarious

I'm in. Wow, this really does look fantastic for basic research and taste development! They've got that Country Mice album I was curious about.

Thanks for the Spotify invite, GamalielRatsey. (I assume it was you that sent me the invite.) Played with it a little bit so far. A lot to explore here.

Interesting comparison between USand UK versions ..

:( Canada.

anyone having this problem where you'll double click on a song to play and it just sits there? skipping to the next track usually works, but dammit i wanna hear that song!!

can someone explain the point of the iphone app if you don't have the premium subscription? i synced some playlists but when i try and click them it says that it's for premium members only

from what i gather it lets you do an (hopefully ota) sync of your own music that youve added to the desktop player but not access spotify library. this would be a cool enough feature actually but i haven't tried it. been waiting for mediamonkey to come up with wireless sync option for awhile, most of the android apps that do it only work with itunes.

having fun imagining frank grimes style meltdowns at rhapsody headquarters right now. this is so unfarrrr!!!

Is there a plug in or something that will produce a radio station like Pandora?

decided to put my emusic account on hold and try the $5 version of this. i feel bad because for years i was like "rhapsody? what a terrible idea" but now the idea of non-committal browsing seems great.
