Spotify

Anybody else on spotify? (Of course SBB is!) I see a few that I know on FB. Anywho, this thing is AWESOME, I highly recommend. I even splurged for the $5/mo thing to avoid ads, and it's well worth it. It will probably lead me to find more records to buy, although Amazon's probably going to lose some mp3 bidness from me.

I just created an account yesterday...not sure that I am too thrilled just yet. Picked a couple of CDs to play and for both (the new Seun Kuti and something from Portugal. The Man) a bunch of tracks wouldn't play. I should probably add my FB account so that I can access friends playlists...

I haven't had a single problem getting tracks to play -- maybe a bandwidth thing? I've got a ton here at work (don't tell my IT guy). Enjoying that Seun Kuti record right now!

I got an invite for the free version and I'm just using it to sample CD's before buying them. No real need to pay to get on my phone because I just upload whatever I download to the Google Music thingy. I like it though, nice they have a free option.

This is the main reason I'm on it. That and to share playlists with a few friends of mine that live out of town.

Woop, woop, Spotify! :) I really like it, for several reasons, I like that it's easy and fast to share music and I like that the instant I add a song to a shared playlist my friend gets it in their Spotify and I really quite like the Related artists feature, that's how I found one of my favorite bands Noah and the Whale. However it's sad that some music is not included, but you can always add your local files. I got one of the versions where you pay as well, thinking about upgrading to the one where you can have it in your phone. It's all good! :)

Hawkeye · Jul 21, 2011, 12:15 PM

anyone besides Crispy have any invites? I can PM you my email address. Thanks in advance!

mjk73 · Jul 21, 2011, 01:37 PM

I have no invites. There is a way to do it around the invites. I'll post the instructions when I'm not at work. I did it and had no prob.

Interesting, hope that works out.

I've been enjoying mjk's selections -- are you actually English or just an extreme anglophile?

I think if you look Anglophile in the dictionary, I think they may have a pic of me. Yes, the little work around worked like a charm when I did it. And I'll work on a few more lists. I have nothing better to do as it's too hot to do anything other then sit in the AC.

vespachick · Jul 21, 2011, 04:56 PM

I don't see how one gets invites, otherwise I'd offer one. Maybe only with a paid account? In any case I LOVE THIS SPOTIFY THING!!!

I agree: MJK's list are groovy. 8)

Follow the instructions on this link. This is what I did and I was able to do it without any problems.
