When we introduced the sharing feature, a lot of you requested a simple way of sharing the music you are listening to on Twitter. With Spotify 0.3.19, you can.

http://pansentient.com/2009/08/spotify-fm-new-last-fm-mashup/
There are several mashup apps that help you find new releases on Spotify based on your listening habits scrobbled to Last.fm (here’s the complete list). The newest and possibly the best yet is Spotify.fm from developer Frank Quist. Spotify.fm includes several unique features you won’t find elsewhere, such as an RSS feed and the ability to search new releases based on both your Last.fm username or genre. Spotify.fm lists the most recent releases (going back 6 months) from your favourite artists. Enter your Last.fm username to display a list sorted by date released on Spotify then by artist:

What gives? I see that "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath", "Technical Ecstasy" and "Never Say Die" among others have suddenly disappared from the Sabs page. A temporary blip?! The beginning of the end?!
p.s. Technical Ecstacy = Criminally Underrated. Don't let the cover put you off!
― The Sunburned Hand of Manfredd Man (Rombald), Saturday, 5 September 2009 22:42 (fourteen years ago) link
They added 45,000 albums in August so I don't think a couple of Sabbath albums disappearing is the beginning of the end, and there are still about 15 Sabbath albums available.
I like the Technical Ecstacy cover!

They're deliberately making those adds worse and worse to get you to pay for the thing aren't they? Might be getting near some sort of tipping point for me here anyhow.

maybe Apple will just buy it
Stevem OTM. I'm starting the rumour that Apple announces the Spotify app on Wednesday and it'll come bundled on the new iPods. And the small print will say something about Apple taking a stake in the company.

Maybe not (I am dum):
Today we’re really excited to announce that Spotify is available to our premium subscribers for the iPhone, iPod Touch and Android platforms. The Spotify app is downloadable in both Apple’s App Store and the Android Market.We’ve worked hard to bring you the same great Spotify experience you’re already familiar with to your phone. The mobile apps will allow you to take the entire Spotify catalogue and put it in your pocket. You can use our ‘offline mode’ to make playlists available at all times, even when no connection is available, perfect for that ride on the tube or long flight across the Atlantic.

Haven't tried downloading anything to the phone yet, but it takes about five seconds to start playing a song when streaming it over T-Mobile 3G and there's none of that buffering like in the Last.fm mobile player.
Using the Android version, by the way.
― James Mitchell, Sunday, 6 September 2009 23:42 (fourteen years ago) link
Spotify is set to offer offline versions of its playlists to PC users as well as those on mobile phones. Apparently.
― James Mitchell, Monday, 7 September 2009 11:27 (fourteen years ago) link
not 100 per cent sure that blog is interpreting the t&cs correctly: spotify has always cached songs to speed up the streaming (you're also uploading tracks to other users, peer-to-peer style). so it might just mean you can use spotify on up to three machines as a premium user.

Huge update today with another 189,000 tracks added. Skimmed through the google doc http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=tuLYLenoNqBWfhds8qaoXDg&output=html, Jeepster's back catalogue is up with Belle and Sebastian up to full strength, The deluxe editions of Radiohead's last EMI albums are up. What looks moist interesting is a lot of vintage stuff from 'The Orchard' including Brylcreemed Boys & Beehived Birds (Part 1), Bollywood - Before the Slumdog Millionaire Years, Virginia Rocks! The History of Rockabilly In The Commonwealth and African Folk Music of the 1920s.

I've only listened to the first cd, but that Virginia Rocks! History of Rockabilly is nigh-on flawless. Quite wonderful.

There's been a lot of this kind of shit reported on the Spotify forums ... the Mac client had become unusable for some, and painfully slow to log on for others, but I know Linux and Windows users have been getting grief too. In fairness to Spotify, I think they've fixed the Mac issues: their customer service is actually exceptional, but obviously it requires everyone who's having problems to actually let them know.

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)
