Not that anyone cares, but this is the death knell of iTunes

i don't see why i'd ever buy another mp3 99.9% of the time

you better believe apple isn't just going to sit by and let spotify take over, though. they've had relationships with the labels for years and are definitely in talks with them to bring something similar to spotify to market. they'd be crazy not to, frankly

the first song I searched for they don't have o_O

yes, there is a good chance that if you're an ilm poster, you're going to be able to find songs that aren't on there

― J0rdan S., Sunday, 24 July 2011 19:59 (twelve years ago) link
deej, i think negotiating w/ cormega's personal label is pretty low on spotify's priority list
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 24 July 2011 20:00 (twelve years ago) link
ok? so its high on my 'personal listen-to' list ...

i mean hes not the most obscure rapper or something. & its not like they dont have tons of stuff up by more obscure artists. seems like a pretty random omission

idk what im not 'understanding,' everyone talks about how this has EVERYTHING and 2/3 things i first looked for werent there
― Gatsby was a success, in the end, wasn't he? (D-40), Sunday, 24 July 2011 20:03 (twelve years ago) link
and you're like, "well thats probably not a priority" -- and?? so im supposed to be impressed?
well, i think one might logically be able to understand how spotify u.s., in its first week of release, has yet to negotiate personally with... cormega
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 24 July 2011 20:05 (twelve years ago) link
like if thats not how it 'works' then ppl should stop telling me it is \oO/ theres no question theres an impressive selection i guess i was just expecting more
― Gatsby was a success, in the end, wasn't he? (D-40), Sunday, 24 July 2011 20:06 (twelve years ago) link
if spotify ever goes public, they're gonna have to explain how they overlooked cormega's self-released 2005 album

can you come up w/ a comeback that isnt "lol cormega"?
my comebacks are mostly "lol deej"
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 24 July 2011 20:08 (twelve years ago) link
deej, if someone told you a restaurant had "everything", would you go in with the expectation that you could eat any food available anywhere in the world
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 24 July 2011 20:09 (twelve years ago) link
deej, if someone told you a restaurant had "everything"
generally reason enough to not go to that restaurant tbh
― iatee, Sunday, 24 July 2011 20:09 (twelve years ago) link
i never said it was shocking that they hadnt personally negotiated a particular album w/ cormega (although they have most of his albums so... i dont know why they would be missing one) i was just surprised considering everyone's line on this is that theyre so incredible comprehensive that they would miss out on the first couple things i searched for. i dont know why that deserves "lol deej" "lol cormega" or snarkiness from you in general

spotify has like zero metallica studio material, but it has enough stuff i love that i've starred, like, over 1,800 songs in my first week using it -- so, no, it doesn't have everything, but it has an insane amount of stuff
― markers, Sunday, 24 July 2011 20:11 (twelve years ago) link
bcuz i think you're being unrealistic
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 24 July 2011 20:12 (twelve years ago) link
it has every other cormega album bcuz those ones were released on actual labels
I know this has more stuff than rhapsody but maybe id be more impressed if i hadnt had that first? idk i guess it being a step further towards comprehensiveness is a good thing but its not the revolutionary thing i was expecting

it was released on 'legal hustle' as were some of the records that are included
― Gatsby was a success, in the end, wasn't he? (D-40), Sunday, 24 July 2011 20:14 (twelve years ago) link
the first thing i wanted to listen to was the washed out album but apparently they don't have sub pop -- i'm still a satisfied user tho
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 24 July 2011 20:14 (twelve years ago) link
im not saying im trashing the program yeesh
i just found out that spotify doesn't have any live skull albums, fuck this shit

i have weird enough taste in certain areas that i can't expect much in the way of comprehensiveness so i don't even worry about it.
that said i think the interface is totally ace and maybe closer to revolutionary, in that it's like a correctly-implemented itunes.

i don't see the advantage of spotify over, say, emusic plus access to clips on youtube and everywhere else these days. but i'd like to investigate. if anyone has an extra invitation available, i'd be grateful for it.

'Night Beat's' available in the UK, no sign of Cormega's 2005 album.
I wouldn't sweat about missing some stuff at the moment, there's a good chance that it'll turn up eventuall. Kate Bush and Underworld's catalogue was only recently made available in the UK for example.

ok cool
― Gatsby was a success, in the end, wasn't he? (D-40), Sunday, 24 July 2011 20:43 (twelve years ago) link
they don't have A LOT... like, I made a playlist and then realized they didn't have like 90% of the songs on it, so anyone I shared it with couldn't listen to most of the songs
the idea is cool, but really I don't get the point of spotify when I have my itunes and a large hard drive?
