Spotify

Anyone else into spotify.com

Latched onto it last weekend, well good.

 

looks pretty good on the face of it..................

 

yeah, it's pretty good. I'm using it as a bit of a try-before-you-buy on albums lately. Very good on perwar blues but less so on more obscure current releases.....

 

I think it's great and the adverts they play aren't very annoying. I've found it particulary good for finding music that you like and you don't know who the artist is, it doesn't have everything but it has quite a lot of stuff and it's easy to use.

 

It was featured on The Gadget Show repeat tonight. Apparently it's great for new music and works on the same principle as BitTorrent, except that it isn't illegal. Yet.
It's pretty quick to start playing stuff they have on the database. Apparently they are also joining forces with 7digital just in case you want to download a track.

 

I don't play with it yet (more of a last.fm kid...) but you're the fourth person who's mentioned it in my hearing this week, so I will check it out one evening.
