If they could get a fair bit more indie labels and possibly the beatles stuff I'd be tempted to pay the 10 quid a month when it eventually goes ad heavy. Would be good if they made it more community based so you could have a friendslist and recommend stuff through that rather than links. |

The service is so fast it's practically like having millions of tracks right on your hard drive, physically. Very impressed. |

Thanks Bluecup, this is rather good, isn't it! I reckon with more development it'll get extremely good in a short amount of time, we'll see. Hopefully a bunch of indies will sign up, I see they have the labels and artists signup link to get on the site, worth looking at I reckon. They seem to be onto the right side of posi by embracing Ogg Vorbis and Last.fm too, it also complements Last.fm very well if you install the Greasemonkey script they created. Very interesting to see music distribution changing so dramatically right now, very exciting times! |

This is great and I had not heard of it anywhere else. I need to get out more (in both the real life and internet sense). Not enough Punk to make it superb but I have still found enough to put a big smile on my face. |

I'm putting together a Soul playlist in honour of my Dad who died just over a year ago. I remember many a happy hour in our motorhome travelling to holidays listening to his soul tapes and thought I could use this here thinger to recreate it somewhat. Anyway, it's a collaborative playlist http://open.spotify.com/user/dimrill/pl ... DACbuhgS3F so if you want to contribute to it, please do. I kicked it off with the track we played at his funeral. |

It's starting to REALLY annoy me that you can't play a single song in spottify. It seems like you can but when it finishes it starts playing something else anyway, whether you selected it or not. |

http://open.spotify.com/user/runcle/playlist/5ix3HuUqdJu6BMJd3vIjop Ive been playing about with putting a fair bit rock together for my own pleasure, may aswell let other people have a fondle, probably works best with a shuffle going on. I kind of lost track from the old time chessy great rawk and started putting stuff on from the last 15 years and kind of spoils the feel. |

Starting to get adverts a lot more frequently now, but they're only short and haven't popped up more often than twice in an hour yet. They don't have much variety though; they're mostly the tax adverts with the guy reciting Pi to X decimal places. I'm still quite happy with the program, but I can hardly ever think of anything to listen to. I've reached another musical block in my life. |

I bet 320k Ogg will sound great. And only for paying subscribers? It's a good upsell that makes the escalating bandwidth bills they must be facing more palatable. Well played, Spotify. |
