Yeah, I was wondering where these ads were. None so far.

jaysus, it's like Napster 1999 all over again. Love it!

I've been listening heavily since yesterday and not got a single ad. Why do I get the feeling tat they're seeing us connect from an Irish IP and so it's assuming we're fully paid up customers, hence no ads?

That does make alot of sense, although it does still say "Buy Premium" in the corner.

 

[Gambra]

Might be because we're technically under a regular fee account?

Just got a message when I loaded up Spotify there that "your location does not match the one listed in your profile. You can travel with Spotify but only for 14 days." Damn, it's all over..

 

[jcdonaggio]

noooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!

can you log in from the proxy to counteract that message?

 

[Wilbert]

Just go into your profile and change your location from UK to Ireland. Problem solved.


Now I await the flooding in of precious rep!

 

[coast to coast]

This seems to be quite fucking deadly.

Currently listening to ...Trail of Dead's oft-derided World's Apart

Some cracking rock anthems on that.

Uh oh

 

[Unicron]

See Wilbert's last post for a fix.

After hearing big things about this in the pub last night I've decided to give it a go. Thing is it's asking me for an invite code.

Anyone got one or know how/where to get one?

Ignore the above - I read Wilbert's posts, got it sorted.

Was using this in Belfast at the weekend and I heard my first advert. In fact i heard an advert every 15 mins or so. The interface is has loads of banner ads too. Strange that I don't see or hear any when I use it here. I'm not complaining. And the ads aren't too bad, it just like listening to the radio.

what you're getting in Ireland is the "paid for" version via proxy, you're not getting the free version at all
once spotify is launch in Ireland, you'll start getting adverts

Read about the dangers of using proxies before you decide if it's worth it.

You can get onto the site via proxies. Go to http://www.daveproxy.co.uk/. Then scroll down and put in www.spotify.com into the search window.

Just sign up then and put BT11AA as your postcode and you can download and use the software. Using it now. It rules.
