that is filthy for 2009 nevermind 1927-53

Is nobody else here getting the CD-like skipping (not like buffering..) on every track played via Spotify 3,4 or 5 times each now?

Not me. I had it a few times months ago but not recently. Must only be certain albums?

only if I've suddenly become the unluckiest picker of spotify albums ever.

am dual booting and pretty sure I've been getting this on both XP and Win7 so suspect it's something to do with the last upgrade (I get the "offline" pause above too, although it usually clears, but takes a good minute to snap into online mode)

this sounds great too

Yeah I've been getting that fndgo. Think they are just messing with it to encourage people to pay up tbh.

Do those rekkids sound as cool as they look?

yes!

I do like that Hitler and Hell track.

I listened to Space Guitar & Deathray Boogie - Vintage Science Fiction Songs 1926-1952 CD, Diabolical Hoodoo: Vintage Songs of Devilry, Doom & Hellfire 1920-1952. and I'm listening to Kickin' Hitler's Butt: Vintage Anti-Fascist Songs 1940-1944 which has woody guthrie,leadbelly etc on it.

I'll give the Deathray Boogie a go before bedtime then :)

what did you think?

for the last few months i have used spotify excuslively to check out jazz music that i need to hear before i buy : mile davis, stan kenton, wayne shorter etc.
so why is it today when i log in the list of artists that spotify thinks i may like is : soft cell, the lilac time, squeeze, the beautiful south, orange juice, and the blue mile !?

"doodle hole"?

Science Fiction one was v. interesting. It was not anything like what I normally listen to, so I can't say if it is good or not but I certainly enjoyed it and wouldn't mind hearing more like it. Internet age kind of sucks trying to hear everything I actually want to, and not in a cuntish 'oh yeah, i once listened to 5 minutes of that so i can have an opinion on it because i'm a massive prick' kind of way. (That said internet age keeping my listening habits cheap, so <3.)

Sam complains about spotify adverts #43: Never, never ever, never ever never ever gonna be scared by a movie called TRIANGLE. Even if you do say it in that LOUD AND SUPPOSED TO BE SCARY BUT KIND OF SILLY voice. TRIANGLE. It is an instrument even more useless than cowbell.

Your mind would be blown if you ever saw the early 80s BBC soap Triangle.

wwwowwww

!!!!!!!

(on a non Kraftwerk note just discovered a shitload of Moondog and some Tom Lehrer on there too, that's the afternoon's playlist sorted)

As I said on a revived Kraftwerk thread, they all have horrible covers. Listening to The Mix, and they sound great, though!

...although it's not actually mixed, which is something of an error. I'm going to give Tour De France a try instead.

I think the cover of 'The Mix' is an improvement and I would really like TEE if I'd never seen the original sleeve. The new Man Machine sleeve is appaling.

otm x3

The new Autobahn one isn't too bad I suppose.

Listening to Computer World and the drums on Numbers are absolutely immense. Really glad I took the plunge and signed up for a premium sub as the remasters are much, much better than I expected.

what's the advantage of having a premium sub with regards to the kraftwerk remasters?

Streams in 320kbps instead of 160 kbps. Same for all stuff I think, though some stuff will benefit more obviously.

... and if you've got an iPhone then you can download them for offline listening too. Am actually surprised at home much I'm looking forward to hearing these.

Er, at "how" much, obviously.

FEAR COMES IN WAVES: TRIANGLE

this makes me lol every time i hear it.

premium now offers offline listening? why this would be useful i really don't know but still

i would happily take a survey so spotify know how to accurately advertise to me. because if i, a non-driver, hear that fucking bad driving done by a lol child advert one more time i may go steal a car and run over some children. i use spotify to stop me 'stealing' music but at this rate, i may just have to go back to it. or find a job and buy records again.

Bob Dylan catalogue no longer on Spotify (or isn't on there as of right now) :(

Aye he pulled everything, this - http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/musicblog/2009/aug/17/major-labels-spotify - implies that it was something to do with the labels making money as spotify shareholders without any of that revenue reaching the artists.

Oh god, that newly prominent 'Buy' button is going to prove dangerous.

Just installed Spotify on my brand new iPhone. Did someone say that there wasn't an Artist search? Well actually, there is.

It all works very well - pretty fast, and a good high bitrate - although it looks like you can't add new playlists directly on the iPhone. The one aggravation is that the app doesn't seem to remember your previous searches - so if you break off halfway through an album, you've got to re-run the whole search to get back to where you were, unless you've already added the album to a pre-existing playlist.

(Oh, and there's no scrobbling of course.)

(Oh, and there's no scrobbling of course.)

You know, I'd idly wondered about this. I'm so glad I kicked the Last.fm habit before the Spotify mobile app appeared, because that would have driven me insane.

New Grant Hart album http://open.spotify.com/album/5PBaS8oAyN58OphJkFSQGT

An email from them offering 6 months premium at £7.99 a month. They're weakening (although I bet they've introduced whatever's caused all the stuttering the last couple of days in order to help persuade me. You'd hope 'offline' wouldn't suffer those problems).

ARGH. CONSERVATIVE PARTY BROADCASTS INTERRUPTING KRAFTWERK ALBUMS?!?!?

FUCK OFF FUCK OFF FUCK OFF

I thought these ads were supposed to be "appropriate" - WTF WTF GET IT OFF GET IT OFF GET IT OFF

oh god that was awful.
