Posts: 6,395 Group: Admin Member #7 Joined: Dec 27, 2007 Xbox Live Gamertag the mighty coco	has anybody tried this music app out? i remember reading about it and some blurb saying it was going to change they way music is distributed. i only remembered about it after i read a news story saying that user details were hacked. lol. just trying it now and seems pretty good so far. looks and feels exactly like itunes but it plays the whole track for fuck all. haven't had time to test the depth of the artist database just yet but most of the majors and a few indie labels have signed up so it's pretty fucking expansive.

Bit confused by the site saying that you have to have an invite to download but I just signed up and downloaded it. Not sure what the difference is between the free version and the paid version when it says the free version is ad supported but I can't see or heard any ads https://www.spotify.com/en/ Edited by Gee, Mar 7 2009, 01:01 PM.

Also it says if I pay then I get more invites to invite people to spotify, why? when they can just sign up and download it themselves. Edited by Gee, Mar 7 2009, 01:13 PM.

4th admin of the apocalypse!!! Posts: 6,395 Group: Admin Member #7 Joined: Dec 27, 2007 Xbox Live Gamertag the mighty coco	i'm going to start making up playlists for various moods and scenes e.g. chilled out late night, sunbathing, getting ready to go out, rock..... just wondering if anybody else wanted to join in on the fun. spotify would be a good way to share the playlist but if you're making up a mix tape of stuff that doesn't appear on there pop it up anyway. good chance i can get a copy of the track/s. initially i'm looking for a couple for sitting round the tent at t in the park. so lash at it peeps.

Here is the full list To listen to a single/album simply copy and paste the URI Some tracks maybe unplayable in the UK Edited by Gee, Jul 15 2009, 10:47 AM.

One of the coolest things is that you can download your playlist and play when you've got no network connection, ideal for those with the iPod Touch or crappy 3G connection :-)

Posts: 3,633 Group: Admin Member #1 Joined: Dec 23, 2007 Xbox Live Gamertag Gee2909	Quote: The Conservative Party are set to launch an advertising campaign on Spotify. A 40-second advert promoting the party will launch on Spotify next Wednesday (October 21), featuring chairman Eric Pickles talking about debt and with an additional message that Spotify users should vote Conservative during the next general election. It is thought that the campaign is the first time a UK political party has advertised on Spotify, reports The Guardian. The advert is within current political advertising rules, which state that parties are not allowed to advertise on TV or radio outside of the run-up to an election or party political broadcasts. Shadow culture secretary Jeremy Hunt said that the party are excited about Spotify's advertising potential. "The growth of Spotify in the UK has been phenomenal," he explained. "We were particularly impressed with its advertising model and its potential for political campaigning." [sarcasm]Yippee!![/sarcasm]
