This is my ONLY program I use to listen to music. I pay a £9.99 subscription a month to get a all I can eat subscription. I use it with my iPhone. I love this. I don't buy any music online unless it's not on Spotify. One problem is on a rare occasion, the servers go down, and the entire music collection unless you have clicked offline playlists, goes off. When you're used to have all the music at your fingers, you become a bit hopeless when the servers go offline :-)
Spotify is amazing for getting good random music, in a fast and free way. Love listening to it. Kicks iTunes ass!
Not available in my country (and I do not think in future it will be...) :(
The best way to listen free music. The ads suck but that's the price you have to pay. :P
Great program and, as has been pointed out several times below, it is legal. My kids love it.
Good application and legal way to listen music.
You have to try it to see how good this really is. Amazing quality, blazing fast, all around a solid and perfect application. And to make it even better, its free. I use this daily and will continue doing so.
streams music for free, saves harddrive space on your computer, its legal what more do you want? its the best peice of software ive used
Spotify is the best music streaming application ever made. With a premium subscription, you'll also get ad-free and on your cellphone (iPhone, Android and some more)
If you previously pirated music as I did then this is finally something that is better than piracy and the musicians get paid! Nearly all the music you could ever want at your fingertips. And if you buy just one album a month and have a smartphone seriously consider premium because for the price of that album you can have every album you could ever want without having to listen to Roberta!
Spotify is a piece of software I love and use everyday, its a piece of software that allows me to stream millions of music tracks to my computer completely free of charge with only the occasionally advert to distract me. “finally the music industry gets it” I exclaimed to a completely uninterested friend. Finally the music industry is adapting to their audience and how this audience consumes music.
Finally I can enjoy free music without the guilt of privacy safe in the knowledge that artists are getting something no matter how insignificant were as before they were getting nothing. I still by music last I brought I least 50 CD's and I have services like spotify and last.fm to thank for this. They have help me discover new types of musics to expand my horizons and this is the true strength of these services, I use them more as recommendation engines than full blown music systems.
Privacy is the easy option to getting music but it makes discovering smaller more independent artists very difficult. Privacy is easy if you want the latest u2 or Bon Jovi album but the smaller more interesting artist just get lost within the noise. This is where spotify truly excels thanks to such an simple feature as similar artist I often just get lost going from one artist to another discovering great music. A simple feature yes but its the simple feature that usually make the biggest difference.
Recommendations is not the only that spotify excels at it is also truly brilliant at hiding my shame at keeping all those shameful secrets that we all love. Those power ballads from the 80's that I would never ever considering buying or have on my ipod have found a new home on certain spotify play lists.
I have no concept of ownership when it comes to music, all my music is contained with my ipod or streamed via online services. That visceral feeling of placing the CD into the CD tray and pressing play is completely lost on me because of the greater convenience of my ipod. I am more concerned with the experience I get from my music and I don't need to own my music in order to get that experience.
Sporify is quickly becoming a very important application in my life its my new recommendation engine. I am very excited about them moving into the mobile space and look forward to the day when that feature is not just a premium feature but a feature available to all. The ability to stream all those tracks were ever I am may be the final nail in the coffin for radio.
Cannot wait for it to be available (more easily ;) in the US.
A loevely program to stream music..
Love all the free music over 5,000 tracks ^.^
Really nice, even though this shit has the most annoying ads EVER.
