Spotify - subscription or free (ad supported) streaming music access (1 Viewer)

This is supposed to be amazing.
Vast catalogue of music available to stream immediately.
Free version not currently available in Ireland though.

Anyone know anything about this?

Probably the business model for the future though. Online games are doing it, Satellite TV does it....

 

[lympog]

yep
use it a good bit over here

while it's not solid yet, it is a rather fine program which should reach its peak when decent 3g units start coming out

as for music, there's lots on it, but there's still loads of licenses that they haven't obtained yet, so there are a number of gaps here and there
surprise surprise, it took the major's nearly 2 years to finalise a deal to get it going for the uk

has anyone in ireland subscribed to this?? i be tempted from time to time.

 

[lympog]

no licenses for ireland yet i'm afraid

I'm using it in the UK at the moment and it's amazing! Particularly useful for using in school - quick and easy access to thousands of examples to show the GCSE kids. I might have some codes left if anyone wants to speak to me REALLY nicely

 

[theweeyin]

Seriously no one else has heard of this or used it?

Yis are missing out, guys!

Plus, you can send playlists to people on it as well....

So you can make a mix of songs and send the link to your pals.

A guy I know in work (in Ireland) subscribes to this and says it's great. About 10 sqd a month.

It is immense. Completely revolutionising the teaching happening in my music department.
