Is that the same as the inbox? Someone (hi jim!) once sent me a whole cliff richard album.

thanks for sending me underworld yesterday, i really enjoyed it!
woot awesome!
Is that the same as the inbox?
Yeah; it seems like most of my friends had a flurry of "omg cool!" for a week and now I'm the only dork still sending tracks/albums to people
(that's okay though because that is precisely the mantle of dorkdom I choose to take up)

i do this with one or two people. love finding a song in my inbox that someone has heard and thought I would appreciate.

Dan, have sent something to you.
― fun loving and xtremely tolrant (Billy Dods), Thursday, 2 February 2012 14:34 (twelve years ago) link
listening now, thanks!
oh this is pretty cool

not 100% convinced by the singer but the gothy overtones in the music more than make up for it

A complete stranger sent me a track via Spotify Inbox last week, because he had found and enjoyed one of my playlists. This made me happy.
― mike t-diva, Thursday, 2 February 2012 14:41 (twelve years ago) link
Ha, thought the vocals might be the stumbling block. He's actually rather restrained on the new album', he was very Beefheart-ian on their earlier stuff.
― fun loving and xtremely tolrant (Billy Dods), Thursday, 2 February 2012 14:41 (twelve years ago) link
Cheers Dan, sadly it came up with a not available in your region warning. Having said that I'm familiar with the track from the album and it's terrific.

just cancelled spotify premium for the billionth time. i always waffle between whether paying $10/month is worth it and sometimes i think it's totally worth it, and other times I think I should just put the $10 toward some bills. let's see how long till not having access on my phone will get to me...
― rayuela, Thursday, 2 February 2012 22:02 (twelve years ago) link
soo it turns out that if you cancel spotify premium while your iphone app is on "offline mode", you can continue to listen to all those songs you marked for offline listening until spotify automatically goes back in online mode in xx number of days.
― rayuela, Friday, 3 February 2012 16:23 (twelve years ago) link
Just trying the Soundrop app, which works from within Spotify and lets you set up collaborative listening rooms - a bit like Outloud, but tracks with the most votes from the room get played first. There's an iPhone app, but you can't see other people's user-generated rooms.
Take a look: http://open.soundrop.fm/s/VrrEtGY3yyQaHUHa

Would like to joinm in but it needs a facebook account. Still always nice to hear 'Snooze 4 Love'.
― fun loving and xtremely tolrant (Billy Dods), Sunday, 5 February 2012 17:02 (twelve years ago) link
enjoying this specific session, but i do wonder whether the voting thing could get a little annoying - prefer the outloud set-up of just queuing stuff up.
― Fizzles, Sunday, 5 February 2012 17:05 (twelve years ago) link
yeah if a certain faction only likes one sort of music then they all vote en-masse for it and it could get very samey.of course if you only want one form of music played that faction could set up their own room

Just clicked on the African room and Jack Peirson has added Nigger Hatin' Me by Johhny Horton.
― fun loving and xtremely tolrant (Billy Dods), Sunday, 5 February 2012 17:18 (twelve years ago) link
If everyone agrees not to vote then I assume it's the same as an Outloud queue.
― two lights crew (seandalai), Sunday, 5 February 2012 17:19 (twelve years ago) link
yeah true

mikes got a nice wee room going come join us
― pfunkboy (Algerian Goalkeeper), Sunday, 5 February 2012 17:38 (twelve years ago) link
the dubstep room is by far the biggest room. 379 listeners just now, lol.

No way to use this in Canada, eh?

the overlay ads are freezing & crashing the entire app, i may pay up just so that i can use it properly

by the way, it seems sort of dumb that spotify and last.fm aren't.. the same thing
haha OTM

i started a post on http://support.soundrop.com/soundrop/topics/doom_black_metal_public_rooms_please asking for more subgenre rooms, the viceroy replied too. Could maybe you all reply to the thread agreeing with us and ask for what genre rooms you would like? (djp if you say the metal subgenre rooms are a great idea i'll back you up on 80s goth and 80s industrial!, deal?) :)
― pfunkboy (Algerian Goalkeeper), Friday, 10 February 2012 18:20 (twelve years ago) link
i figure the more who post on the thread the more notice they will take. It would be much appreciated if you all do.

I listened to the dubstep room this morning, and it sucked.
They need more electronica rooms in general, plus maybe more than one hip-hop room.

well then post on my thread and ask.
i did post on another thread , as did viceroy http://support.soundrop.com/soundrop/topics/more_stations-16k1lj
i suggested a drop down submenu for each genre where subgenre rooms could go
Maybe if when you click on the Metal room in main list it could bring up a sub-menu that asks if you want to join a Doom ,or Black or Death,Heavy,Industrial,Thrash etc roomSame with indie - it could have a submenu with all the subgenres. This way the main page could be kept nice n tidy?And of course with the various other genres like Electronic et al
as in the metal room there's arguments over metalcore/deathcore/borecore/death metal/black metal/grey metal/nu metal/old metal and so on. Its bound to be the same in Indie or Electronic or Country and every genre on there.just having one metal/country/indie/electronic etc room is no use.
― pfunkboy (Algerian Goalkeeper), Friday, 10 February 2012 19:31 (twelve years ago) link
so the best way to make it happen is to post on one of those threads. The more who actually post on a thread the closer it rises to top of the page and will get noticed by employees of soundrop

I use Spotify in Canada with a VPN. My employer pays for it, but they are not really expensive and totally worth it. Can't get Spotify premium though... need a US billing address and credit card for that.
― smash williams, Saturday, 11 February 2012 02:32 (twelve years ago) link
iOS app added extreme 320kbps quality streaming and syncing today. Not sure if that will make a difference that I'll be able to notice. Sounded pretty good to me before.
― Moodles, Saturday, 11 February 2012 07:34 (twelve years ago) link
My idea was that you could log into Spotify with last.fm I'd...because last.fm has a strong community feel that Facebook doesn't.
― Gavin McLayoff (u s steel), Saturday, 11 February 2012 12:38 (twelve years ago) link
I think Last.fm are still pretty suspicious and wary of Spotify for obvious reasons.

Spotify tells all of my friends the title of the last song I played, but it doesn't tell me what it was.

― The Winged Devil Ape (Fizzles), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 19:25 (twelve years ago) link
History only goes back as far as one session.
I was only wondering because it lists the last song for my friends list, and I'm wondering what it's telling them I listened to.
― billstevejim, Tuesday, 14 February 2012 19:29 (twelve years ago) link
DJP- i dunno what to make of that. Terrible she's being harassed, but wtf was she doing posting nudes of herself to all and sundry.

so i have spotify in my dock (mac os x lion), and whenever i click on the icon, another spotify icon appears in the dock, and it's that icon that gets the little blue light under it saying the program's running or whatever, while the original spotify icon i clicked just sits there.
this started happening to me and around the same time Airfoil stopped working to send Spotify to my good speakers
I'm hoping these steps will fix both issues but I haven't tried it yet
http://www.rogueamoeba.com/support/knowledgebase/?showArticle=AirfoilSpotifyRelaunch
When an update for Spotify is available, Spotify automatically downloads it. It then quits itself and launches the update, all without any interaction from you, the user. This is non-standard behavior for Mac OS X, and can cause issues.
Additionally, when Spotify is unable to modify itself in the main /Applications folder -- for example, if the user is running a non-admin account -- then Spotify will install the update to the user's Home folder (in ~/Applications rather than /Applications). After that, every time the version in /Applications is launched, Spotify will quit itself and launch the version in ~/Applications. Again, this is non-standard behavior for Mac OS X, and can cause issues.

the soundrop rooms on spotify have now been expanded. Lots of dance music genres like House, drum n bass, electro, chill out and theres rnb, reggae,post-rock rooms too.no indie or metal subgenres as yet
