i do but im getting bored of it. It's fine for well known music on major labels but if they dont expand to get more obscure stuff im gonna end up never using it.

Yeah I can see that. At the moment there's more than enough major label stuff to keep me happy though!

The huge selection of Blue Note Jazz is what's keeping me on it. Hopefully they will license stuff from some of the independent labels i like (southern lord,hydrahead etc)

Recommend some of said jazz. As you say, the dearth of alternative labels is bad, although recent additions of Domino and Warp are a step in the right direction.
― zero learnt from nero (Neil S), Wednesday, 11 March 2009 17:18 (fifteen years ago) link
wel the usual suspects of miles davis, john coltrane, sun ra, charles mingus are all up there along with Archie Shepp, Albert Ayler, Pharaoh Sanders,sonny rollins, alice coltrane, lonnie liston smith etc
plus pretty much all the Blue Note roster. Grant green, lee morgan, lou donaldson,wayne shorter , donald byrd, joe henderson, hank mobley, babyface willete to name a few.

Spotify really needs a browse by genre and artists by alphabetical order list

"Root Down and Get It" is great, and familiar from the Beastie Boys track of the similar name.

Do they not play adverts during the weekend then? I played three full albums and some assorted tracks on Spotify this w/end and never once had an ad inturrupting.

xpost. I didn't think you needed an invite anymore. If you need one, I'll mail one to you.

― Pfunkboy in blood drenched rabbit suit jamming in the woods (Herman G. Neuname), Tuesday, 17 March 2009 11:36 (fifteen years ago) link
I saw Zarif supporting Chris Brown in January. Perhaps the least effective arena support I've ever seen. Cheered to the rafters when she announced "And this is my last number"...
Good to see the 2020 label on Spotify, especially the superb Greg Wilson label comp from last year - highly recommended:

top 5 most wanted features:
1. TAGS (so as to find similar material more easily)2. more meta data displayed and searchable esp. original year of release, label, nation, genres3. thumbs up/down tracks (maybe only interesting for low-audience playlists), or maybe 1-10 rating system4. better home page - itunes-style portal (inc. more 'new this month' type listings), customisable5. videos (ok maybe next year)
― Hard House SugBanton (blueski), Wednesday, 18 March 2009 15:21 (fifteen years ago) link

There's a list of the labels they have deals with here: http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=psnjFY3R2itudXATC9GQVUg
http://www.spotify.com/blog/archives/2009/02/27/spotify-missing-your-favorite-artists-you-can-help/
have a look at the labels we have signed, if the artist is covered by one of the deals then it’s likely they’ll get added to our catalogue in the near future. We’re currently adding about 10,000 tracks a day from our current deals.If they’re not a part of one of our current deals then the way you can help us is to contact the label or artists and let them know you want to hear their music on Spotify. We’re ready and willing to sign any label and they can contact our content team by emailing cont✧✧✧@spot✧✧✧.c✧✧.

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.
