Wonder if there's been a sudden surge in iTunes sales during the past six hours

This bullshit popping ads up in the scroll bar as you're clicking it to make you click them by accident is both disgusting and savage.

so far, my impression of mflow is that its not as good as spotify.... here's an articles explaining what it is:
http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/technology/shanerichmond/100004722/twitter-meets-itunes-at-mflow/
As a user you can only preview 30 sec of tracks or buy to hear the whole track. You can recommend/flow tracks to others and they will be able to hear the whole song in order to make a buy decision.
I created two user profiles and mflowed about 10 entire albums from one to the other. Under the receipient profile, I only got given a selection of tracks from the albums I had flowed, rather than the whole album.
So, whilst mflow is not ad-supported like the free version of Spotify, its way more restrictive and doesn't let you dive into an album.
I got spare invites if anyone wants one, 'cos I;m not recruiting anyone in the near future.

Can't wait to try Spotify - if and when it comes to the US. Lala.com is lame with it's one-time stream per album deal.

does anyone pay for premium via paypal? They cant do re-ocurring charges via that can they? I might try it for a month but I dont wanna do it via CC incase i forget to cancel it.
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Tuesday, 27 April 2010 15:53 (thirteen years ago) link
ok i signed up, looks like it does charge you each month, didn't think they could do that with paypal, so im not too happy with that but I'm gonna give it a go, esp useful with all these listening clubs. Maybe I'll use Spotify more now I'm paying for it but i cant see me subscribing every month unless i do use it a lot.

Are the proxy settings as easy to tweak for us North Americans as they are on the older version?

Getting this for iPhone has been the best thing I ever did...

Me too...How much do you use it during the day on 3g? It hoovers up data - and I wonder in the long-term if the phone companies will act to limit it.
― Bob Six, Thursday, 29 April 2010 07:26 (thirteen years ago) link
Xpost: on iPhone it let's you download and store music on your phone! So you can play offline
― De que estas hablando? (Tannenbaum Schmidt), Thursday, 29 April 2010 07:43 (thirteen years ago) link
Anyone know when the new version will be available for mac?
― p-dog, Thursday, 29 April 2010 09:04 (thirteen years ago) link
I downloaded it from spotify's site yesterday evening. It looks good - though I haven't tried the link to facebook yet.
I was quite impressed with how quickly it built the new 'library' - and it found more tracks than I have in iTunes.
― Bob Six, Thursday, 29 April 2010 09:19 (thirteen years ago) link
Most of my Spotify iPhone plays are in offline mode - I set the playlists up to download overnight, while I'm plugged into the mains on my home wi-fi. That said, the 3G signal in the office is super-strong, so it rarely pauses while streaming online.
The new Windows version hasn't rolled out to me yet - the site says they're phasing it in - and I am getting VERY IMPATIENT.
― mike t-diva, Thursday, 29 April 2010 09:54 (thirteen years ago) link
mike, you can download the new version; the update doesn't mess with any existing playlists or settings

It tried to roll out the new version to me after I already downloaded it myself, resulting in something fucking up and me having to do it all again. Really happy with it but I'm still a bit wary about it mining my libraries - I'm not a serial advance copy downlooter but I imagine if I was I'd be concerned about installing a product that allows major record labels to browse my computer for albums they haven't released yet.
― broad layering (onimo), Thursday, 29 April 2010 11:14 (thirteen years ago) link
Don't make those playlists public, then! Pretty sure it doesn't let them see details of your library otherwise.
― stet, Thursday, 29 April 2010 11:21 (thirteen years ago) link
How much information does Spotify store about my local files and what do you do with them?We collect data on the files you import and play for top list purposes, statistics and to link tracks to our database for better sharing. As we state in our privacy policy, we won’t share an individuals information regarding imported files to 3rd parties.
From the blog, although obviously it depends how far you believe that's likely, and what exactly it means.
How did it fuck up onimo? I did the same, and it's crashed a couple of times, but nothing serious.
Other than that, it's great - always slightly wary of the social aspect of these (misanthropy/integration of everything fear) but the assimilation of itunes stuff is great, as the fact you can sync both local and spotify files to iphone playlists. Once the new iphone gets third party apps running the background - KABOOOM, I have leveled up.

Yep, on computer it's great, because the whole search/linking thing is so much better than itunes, tho not sure about relative amount of space taken up per song on iPhone, and obviously that whole not being able to run spotify in the background is a drag, until the iPhone 4.
Point taken about third parties onimo.
― Remember me, but o! forget my feet (GamalielRatsey), Thursday, 29 April 2010 11:40 (thirteen years ago) link
The labels only have a 17% stake; they definitely count as third parties. Spotify giving them data on who has prereleases would just be suicide, too. I'd be relaxed about it.
