Spotify

[Makke]

I just bought a premium subscription to the music service Spotify - http://www.spotify.com - and I really really recommend it for all and everyone who loves to check out new, and old music. A friend had access to a beta version of the service, so I knew what it was before getting it.

Spotify's got a huge library of records, and you get access to all of it. And it's a lot of stuff, from normal albums to rare tracks, which you get to stream at will, by album or single track. Or pick a genre, and decade and the program will make a continuous playlist for you of for example jazz released between 1970 and 1990.

You can get the free version, which works kind of like a commercial radio station, or the premium version without the ads. I'm hoping they succeed with their business venture, because it's a really excellent product!



EDIT: Although, I do find a few holes in the catalogue the harder I "test" it - no Meshuggah, that's kind of bad! But I guess they didn't get a deal with every record label and distributor out there. Still, quite a nice library of tunes to stream.

They are currently uploading a HUGE amount of tracks to the system according to a friend of mine who works at the company hosting them. The cool thing is that it's very easy to send a URI to a buddy and say: Hey, check this out! This is a cool track! Also, the shared playlists are cool as well. I sincerely hope for their success for sure. There are still a bunch of things to sort out for them, but it surely looks promising so far.
