OT: Spotify
I just got it. It's changing my life. It will change the world.
Go get an invite: http://www.spotify.com
Picture iTunes, except you just type in the name of the song you want, and it plays. Any song. Anywhere you go. It's free. (Ad-supported, with premium services available.) Go do it.
I've been using this for a week or so. It is incredibly helpful. As a music major, I probably listen to an hour or two of music a day. Sometimes its obscure stuff and this has been great fro trying to find some of it.
I signed up for Spotify on Monday and I got my invitation last night. I love it so far. I especially like how it recognizes my music in iTunes. I just wish you could get Spotify on Linux for free users.
I've heard that it's basically what everyone wishes Pandora was. I'll have to check it put sometime.
It's really incredible. I requested my invite and had it two minutes later. Do it now, while the system is fast!
I just got my invite today, and I am amazed. It is one of the best pieces of software I have ever seen!
Just sent my request, not even a minute later I got my invite. I'm guessing you can't download the songs off of their though?
Not with the free version, but why would you need to? If you're online, you have every song available to you. The premium version ($10 / month) lets you store an offline cache of playlists, meaning that you can play songs you specify on Spotify even if you aren't online.
Didn't know about the about offline cache part.

Doesn't Spotify only give you a limited trial for free? I've only ever used Grooveshark, to which I'd apply the same sentiments as the OP to his respective music-streaming service.
Spotify is free forever, if you choose that option. It's ad supported (banner ads and audio ads, like Pandora.)
The first 6 months are unlimited free streaming, then it's 10 hours/month
an ad-supported free-to-the-user service having no monthly cap on listening hours or a cap on number of plays of a unique track during the first 6 months following creation of your Spotify account but thereafter a cap of 10 listening hours per month and a cap of 5 plays per unique track (the “Free Service”),
But it IS awesome, and I may upgrade to "unlimited" after 6 months...
EDIT: this is from the "terms and conditions" page on their website
Thanks for the heads up one this. This is awesome. Told all my friends that are really into music about it. Is it always this easy to sign up free?
It is now. The invites used to be hard to come by, but they've really opened up in the past day or two.
I got my invite instantly. So far it seems like a cool concept/program.
as the kids say
I know two flautists from Washington state who used that phrase a lot one summer in Michigan...
It was the Cat's Pajamas.
Spotify is free for computer only and $10 / month for unlimited devices. So there.
Yeah, I got it last week. Great program.

In my opinion, only luck is able to make an unknown person famous on Spotify. This platform shows us many different musicians and it is rather difficult to stand out. I prefer to use website here to make me noticeable. However, it works only in the case with good music. Nobody likes to listen to trash

Hi there. I always use Spotify to listen to the music, I think it is the best platform for this purpose. I also share my own tracks, but I don't have many followers. I want to try such promotion services like curated playlists Spotify from https://promosoundgroup.net/collection/spotify-curated-playlists, such method looks effective. What do you think about this?
