Beast Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 http://www.spotify.com (wasn't sure where to put this but...) If you want free music, install this. Been listening to it all day, it's fantastic! I'd recommend this to anyone! It's just brilliant. All you need is a username and that's it. Enjoy! : peace:
conzer16 Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 it's UK only for the free music, unfortunately. Heard about this a while back. Seems like another Last.fm kinda thing.
Daft Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 This is SO last month! :p Yeah, it's awesome. Been using it ever since I heard about it. Only opened iTunes since to update my iPod.
Dan_Dare Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 this thing is absolutely amazing. not least because nobody's done it before. I'm still listening to my itunes more, but Spotify is just mind boggling for new music. Love it.
Molly Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 Got it yesterday, am now converted and addicted. It's incredible.
Guest Captain Falcon Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 Since it only has one track from my favourite band, and none from my second, I'm not uninstalling iTunes just yet, but it is pretty useful. Adverts are few and far between and the sound quality is good enough as makes no odds (to me at least).
jayseven Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 I've not clicked on the link or anything, but is it different to pandora?
Goafer Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 Lacuna Coil - 1 song Mad Capsule Markets - 1 AC/DC - No songs, just tributes and junk. Although they seem to avoid all interweb based stuff. Not a great start, although it does have a few of my other favourite songs/bands.
Dan_Dare Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 spotify:album:5PqVBg8Mo1Tnprbs5uhQu9 you can thank me later.
Pantsu Man! Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 Listening to Cars by Gary Numan. This is pretty cool.
Dan_Dare Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 ^ Sorry? ten for clarity: whack those links in the search bar and go nuts.
Molly Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 Now it's free Dan, where shall I start with Mogwai? Seen as you go on about them so!
dwarf Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 Ah right. So is there any way to get the music from here onto the iPod or is there different programs I need to use for that? I don't want to pay 79p for a song anymore seeing as everyone else is getting their stuff for zilch.
Dan_Dare Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 Now it's free Dan, where shall I start with Mogwai? Seen as you go on about them so! ooooh ooh! I like this bit! Ok i'd probably start with Young team. First album too, so that's nice. From there you could go two ways- if you prefer your Mogwai to rock out and blow your face off with baddass you should check out Mr Beast and it's sequel The hawk is Howling (their two most recent albums) or, if you prefer their more introspective, gentler stuff you should check out Happy Songs for Happy People, Rock Action and Come On Die Young. Those three are a bit slower, with some really beautiful tunes on.

Spotify appears to be a radiostation, of sorts, so you're streaming not downloading, so no chance of thiefing it :P
Dan_Dare Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 oh and one more thing: Mogwai are an albums band. Don't pick and choose songs if you can help it. Their style often revolves around a core idea in each album, with individual tracks building from a sigular foundation. They're made to be listened to whole for full effect
Paj! Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 ooooh ooh! I like this bit! Ok i'd probably start with Young team. First album too, so that's nice.

Those three are a bit slower, with some really beautiful tunes on. I bought CODY, and it never really grabbed me. At some point I'll try out the more recommended stuff though, like you say. They're high on my list.

Dan_Dare Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 as a massive Mogwai Fan, I only just got all of CODY myself and it's way less accessible than almost all their other albums. I can see why you found it alienating - it's a terrible first choice! (not that would have known) Young team is where it's at. Follow my course of education!
Goafer Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 some random and cheesy TV/Movie/Game soundtracks. See if you can figure out where they all came from! spotify:user:goaferboy: playlist:2GpzIdjAD0iuaqKQaomVzk (take the space out)
Ashley Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 Two things for this particular thread. You can click "Copy HTTP Link" and it'll give you a proper link. But you need to have spotify closed to make it work. Also if you do just list it to prevent any 'colon p' becoming :p use the following code: [noparse][noparse]SPOTIFY LINK[/noparse][/noparse] eg goaferboy's becomes: [noparse]spotify:user:goaferboylaylist:2GpzIdjAD0iuaqKQao mVzk[/noparse]
