Title: Spotify - A world of music. Post by: photek on December 21, 2008, 07:01:21 AM http://www.spotify.com/en/
No thread about possibly THE greatest software released the last century kinda surprised me. Anyone else using Spotify ? Quote What is Spotify? Spotify is a new way to enjoy music. Simply download and install, before you know it you’ll be singing along to the genre, artist or song of your choice. With Spotify you are never far away from the song you want. There are no restrictions in terms of what you can listen to or when. Forget about the hassle of waiting for files to download and fill up your hard drive before you get round to organising them. Spotify is instant, fun and simple. Because music is social, Spotify allows you to share songs and playlists with friends, and even work together on collaborative playlists, Friday afternoon in the office might never be the same again! We’re music lovers like everyone else. We want to connect millions of people with their favorite songs by creating a product that people love to use. We respect creativity and believe in fairly compensating artists for their work. We’ve cleared the rights to use the music you’ll listen to in Spotify. Title: Re: Spotify - A world of music. Post by: stray on December 21, 2008, 07:10:04 AM Well... I guess this is one reason why I'm not using it yet.

We understand that you are currently in United States You may want to save your invites for f13 folk who are living in the selected countries of Europe that the songs are licensed for.

Is it like Simplify (http://www.simplifymedia.com/learn.html)(which does work in North America)?

Title: Re: Spotify - A world of music. Post by: photek on December 23, 2008, 07:59:43 AM Spotify is a software which allows you to stream music to your PC, any artist, any genre, any album, it basically has everything. Imagine having something like Itunes, but free. You cannot save the tracks, but you can create playlists and it is all on-the-fly. Most awesome software ever, and I apologize to my US friends, I thought this was international, but I knew it had to have some restrictions, simply too good to be true as "free-for-all".

Title: Re: Spotify - A world of music. Post by: Jherad on March 22, 2009, 05:45:11 PM Hmm. This is... fantastic.
Very quick. I don't have the best internet connection in the world, and streaming music normally takes a couple of seconds to kick in, but not with this - both searching and playing is snappy, without hitches. The music quality is good. Adverts are infrequent and short. Are they making money out of this? Title: Re: Spotify - A world of music. Post by: Xuri on March 22, 2009, 07:50:09 PM Two fancy links:
SpotyShare (http://www.spotyshare.com/) Spotify Playlists (http://spotylist.com/) Title: Re: Spotify - A world of music. Post by: nurtsi on March 23, 2009, 12:02:34 AM Most important thing first: integrates to last.fm... check.
The ads are actually targetted by country. Now I can enjoy Finnish adverts that are trying to sell me car parts instead of the typical American car insurance ads I've grown accustomed to while listening to DI.fm etc. The ads are short and not coming often. This is like play-exactly-what-I-want-when-I-want instead of the play-something-similar-to-what-I-want-but-not-what-I-want of Pandora. No idea how much music is in here, but so far everything I've tried searching has come up. You can seek in the songs! This is too good to last. Title: Re: Spotify - A world of music. Post by: schild on March 23, 2009, 12:40:03 AM Quote This is too good to last. As long as they don't try to get into America, it'll probably be fine. Title: Re: Spotify - A world of music.

Post by: K9 on August 03, 2009, 11:02:38 AM Invites sent to those who requested. Any feedback ? Minor necro, sorry. I'm using this full-time now at work now, I haven't even run itunes or media player in a month or so. I mostly tune the adds out now, and really can't fault them on anything bar the dearth of Metallica and the Beatles; they seem to have ample amounts of everything else though and I'm finding plenty of new stuff too. Title: Re: Spotify - A world of music. Post by: Tarami on August 03, 2009, 03:25:57 PM Spotify is one of those softwares that just work. Tiny labels remain a problem, but on the upside I can listen to lots of nice stuff I'm not directly inclined to buy.
Like Nine. http://open.spotify.com/artist/4NgXkFawAZea0X9OQVQh3X :awesome_for_real: Title: Re: Spotify - A world of music. Post by: K9 on August 03, 2009, 05:15:01 PM Hmm, your post highlights the only problem I've noticed with Spotify, in that it struggles to differentiate bands with the same name. I'm sure this is something that will be resolved in time though, and it's not a big problem.
Title: Re: Spotify - A world of music. Post by: Tale on August 04, 2009, 05:58:14 AM Anyone who thinks this is "just like [insert product name here]" or "just another version of [blah]" is wrong.
This is much of the music ever released, streaming in MP3 quality, searchable, for free, in an application as slick as WoW. The country blocking doesn't work. All you need is a UK proxy server to register: http://www.daveproxy.co.uk. You do have to re-register occasionally as it does ask you to travel back to the UK every few weeks from your overseas location, but there's nothing to stop you using it. Title: Re: Spotify - A world of music. Post by: Jherad on August 04, 2009, 06:46:49 AM Still using it here also. The only real drawback is that it can be a bit heavy on the bandwidth usage if you're not careful (ie. it is very easy to just pile up a huge playlist and have the thing running all day - bad if you're on a cap). That's a user issue though. Very popular app with my work colleagues, and works fine through the corporate firewall if I pass it through CNTLM first.
The ads are much more frequent than they were, and they sometimes run two back-to-back now, but still ignorable. Now, if they could get this working with cached playlists+advertisements on portable MP3 players... Title: Re: Spotify - A world of music. Post by: Tebonas on August 04, 2009, 06:56:55 AM So it works in Austria? I'm astonished. Any invites still lying around?
Title: Re: Spotify - A world of music. Post by: Jherad on August 04, 2009, 06:59:58 AM If you use a UK proxy, you don't need an invite.
Title: Re: Spotify - A world of music. Post by: K9 on August 04, 2009, 07:00:52 AM You shouldn't need an invite.

I've been thinking of doing so.Title: Re: Spotify - A world of music. Post by: Righ on August 06, 2009, 12:31:35 AM No, just to sign up. :grin:
Title: Re: Spotify - A world of music. Post by: Tale on August 06, 2009, 12:39:36 AM Yes, you only need a UK proxy to sign up. The app itself doesn't care where you are. Except when you've been using it from a non-UK IP address for weeks, when it says "hey, holidaying British person, go home!". Eventually it decides your holiday is too long and cuts you off. Then you register again!

anyone want to send an invite to schild AT gmail.com? Heh. Title: Re: Spotify - A world of music. Post by: schild on August 06, 2009, 12:57:14 AM Nevermind. Just signed up. This shit is amazing as everyone says. It will NEVER be released in America.
Title: Re: Spotify - A world of music. Post by: Tale on August 06, 2009, 01:08:31 AM As far as I can tell, it's the same massive "combined participating record companies" database of music as the old Yahoo! Music (Launchcast). And that was released in America.
But Yahoo! Music streamed randomly selected tracks at you, based on your taste preferences. Spotify puts you in control, allowing you to play what you want, when you want. They both lack similar things from artists or labels that heavily policed their online availability, such as Metallica. Title: Re: Spotify - A world of music. Post by: schild on August 06, 2009, 01:11:58 AM allowing you to play what you want, when you want. When people say phrases like this, I twitch. Title: Re: Spotify - A world of music.

Here is a 10-song playlist I made called The 1990s Not Sucking (http://open.spotify.com/user/haikohaiko/playlist/0mbOLRlcmCoKOuZfyFc2RA). Tale. (edit - made one change, removed Sonic Youth's 'Kool Thing' and replaced with The Breeders 'Cannonball' - broader appeal, also great) Title: Re: Spotify - A world of music.

I started with a couple of Shamen hits, then realised I was enjoying listening to them too much, so had to take them off... If I one day have kids, I'll embarrass them with 90s songs.

Title: Re: Spotify - A world of music. Post by: Righ on August 29, 2009, 10:10:10 AM That depends on advertising revenues. With the recent hits on Internet radio licensing costs in the US (read FCC sanctioned cartel protection) it will be a more expensive proposition than European coverage. Fortunately there has been some improvement in the situation this year with the bodies that collect performance royalties agreeing to set rates based on the income of the broadcaster. That's why we still have Pandora.
Title: Re: Spotify - A world of music. Post by: schild on August 29, 2009, 03:13:39 PM Gonna be honest, I prefer Snowtape's radio stuff over Spotify's format. I like what Spotify is doing, but I've bought pretty much every CD I ever wanted and the only way I'm gonna find new ones is through radio stations directly targeted at me.

Title: Re: Spotify - A world of music. Post by: Stormwaltz on July 15, 2011, 07:44:38 AM If you get a Premium or Unlimited subscription, you bypass the beta wait and get right in.
Title: Re: Spotify - A world of music. Post by: K9 on July 15, 2011, 10:00:52 AM I upgraded to a paid subscription a few months ago, having used Spotify for ~2 years or so (whenever I first posted in this thread I guess). As someone in front of a computer all day I think it is worth it; although it's library is incomplete, they keep adding new content all the time, and I'm rarely disappointed.
Title: Re: Spotify - A world of music. Post by: Jobu on July 18, 2011, 07:38:57 PM I just dove straight in, and I really like it.

It really needs recommendations a la Genius/Pandora/Last.FM, and a better way to tag albums for offline availability other than just making playlists out of them all. Big big fan so far.
Title: Re: Spotify - A world of music. Post by: MuffinMan on July 18, 2011, 10:00:55 PM Yea, I'm finding this lacking. Seems to be great if you know exactly what you want to listen to but I don't. Definitely needs recommendations or even the ability to look at a certain genre. Maybe I'm just missing something here.
Title: Re: Spotify - A world of music. Post by: Jherad on July 18, 2011, 11:01:48 PM In the UK at least, there is a Radio option in Spotify, that lets you stream random tracks of a various genre. Kinda. It's not brilliant, but it's something - this is apparently disabled in the USA at the moment.

I wish there were a second way to do that. I'd like my "Starred" music to be the singles and tracks I really like that is mixed from my local and online libraries. A "best of" so to speak. I also want just a dumping ground to put whatever I please into it. After writing that out and reading it back, it seems obvious that I can probably get it to work that way. I'm really just stuck in thinking of organizing things like I have been in iTunes for 7 years I guess. Title: Re: Spotify - A world of music.

It's not trying to be Last.fm or Pandora; it's just a giant collection of music that you can stream whenever you want. It's like Grooveshark with better organization, tagging, and interface, or Limewire with no download times and legal, or iTunes but you don't have to pay anything. I'm not sure what there is not to get.So are you guys actually getting into the beta, or is everyone using non-US/premium accounts? Title: Re: Spotify - A world of music.

Title: Re: Spotify - A world of music. Post by: Sky on July 19, 2011, 12:22:14 PM I've been listening to some classical guitar pieces. It's amazing how many poorly interpreted pieces there are in professional (or at least retail) release. I even found several with recording errors, hell I have more stringent restrictions on what I'll release for the two people here who give a shit to listen.
Ok, not really. But I wouldn't charge for stuff recorded with mistakes, especially in the first ten seconds! Re-do man, re-do. http://open.spotify.com/album/7MJWXy5I8plN5PXvO80rU3 Capricho, for instance. Title: Re: Spotify - A world of music. Post by: Morfiend on July 19, 2011, 12:46:53 PM I got in the beta (limited release?) thing. So far its really nice, except it insists on listing some of my albums funky, and then when I use its feature to correct the metadata, it just fucks them up more.
Its only a few albums, but it really makes my OCD freak out. This is coming from a person who wont add single songs, only whole albums to my library due to organization. Title: Re: Spotify - A world of music. Post by: Sky on July 19, 2011, 01:11:05 PM My fiancee used to only import individual songs.

Say I do a search for some obscure band, and 20 songs appear. How do I just get all of those playing one after another? I kept on having to click on each specific song, or skip tracks to make it jump to the next. Title: Re: Spotify - A world of music.

Not that I've ever done that before, usually it's a better idea to click on either the band or the album name and then play, or create (or add to) a playlist. Title: Re: Spotify - A world of music.

Select the songs you want by either shift+clicking or ctrl+clicking. Right click, queue. Is that what you're looking for?Say I do a search for some obscure band, and 20 songs appear.

Post by: HaemishM on July 25, 2011, 09:31:50 AM Got the invite, signed up and holy damn this thing is awesome. I didn't expect I'd find a use for it, but my wife and I are considering going premium just to use the Android app.
Title: Re: Spotify - A world of music. Post by: Merusk on July 25, 2011, 09:42:39 AM Is there a way to delete songs you don't want from the random queue? I never thought I'd find something less user-friendly than iTunes, but this software is getting there.
I'm also puzzled by the way it will have the link for an artist or album for 6-7 songs in an album, but then the next 2-3 - from the same rip - won't have a link. :uhrr: Also annoying are the artist pages themselves. I don't know who's maintaining them or how it works, but seeing the exact same album listed 4-5 times with different years is obnoxious. Title: Re: Spotify - A world of music.
