http://www.spotify.com/en/ (http://www.spotify.com/en/)
Online free juke box.
-
Apparently it's not available in my country :?
-
Yeah - been on it for a while now. It's very good and very quick, but they need more music!
-
It's really good, the selection is pretty big too, which is nice for checking out artists, and for when i'm too lazy to go and get the CD from the shelf :)
-
I use it a bit but theres not enough stuff on there.
-
I'm sure that will change in time. The record companys are apparently giving it their blessing so hopefully it won't die 'cos of some legal bollocks.
-
AMAZING!! Thanks guys :D
Tom, you're just too bluddy young :lol:
There's tons of stuff on there that I want to hear.
An hour or so ago I was in tears listening to Glen Campbell's version of "If you go away" - I haven't heard that since I was 12 or so, and I know every word, every inflexion...
And then we found...
Bobby Goldsboro - Honey
Andrew Gold - Never Let Her Slip Away
Le Chic - Le Freak
Lindisfarne - Run for Home
Manfred Mann - Davey's on the Road Again, Pretty Flamingo
The Searchers - Needles and Pins
The Loving Spoonful - Darling Be Home Soon
the list goes on and on, and I haven't heard these things for YEARS...
This is monster...
Bit of an omission though - no Frog Chorus :(
(actually there are several "Frog Chorus", but they all really are, er, choruses of frogs, or a bunch of Green Berets singing some sort of marching song :lol:)
-
Looks great- when I get a moment I will look into it.
-
No Beatles material or so I heard on the news.
I've had a line-out of the laptop into my stereo all day, you don't even need an ipod now!
-
You'll need more than a moment 38th!
I registered, er, when Alan Whicker had just started - er, 2 hours ago, after searching for songs I remember from when I was at school, I moved on to finding all sorts of stuff that I'd meant to check out soon...
The missus was vaguely impressed, but I think she's given up and gone to bed :lol:
I think I need to do the same...
-

Lots of McCartney, Harrison, Starr...
No Beatles (doesn't worry me, I got them all), and no Lennon apart from lots of interviews...
Hmmm... some sort of pattern I feel? :lol:
It's superb, but I have to go to bed...
EDIT: I lied - not much Harrison neither - looks like it's all tribute stuff and interviews... (sorry Yoko, if you thought I was implying anything! :lol:)
-
Brilliant!!
I'm listening to stuff I forgot I liked from WAY back....
I love it!!
-
Andy, I'm having a Glen Campbell moment myself now :D I've just found a cover of the Foo's Times Like These which is really good.
-
Really liking it for try before you buy. Very handy.
-
Spotify is excellent! Love the interface. Even works in Ubuntu through Wine quite nicely.
Paid for the first month, now using the free version with some semi-annoying ads between songs every now and then.
I didn't continue the paid subscription since some of the music I already had listened to disappareard a while back. For example, all but one Arch Enemy album disappeared. No Floyd or Zappa. No Sikth or Textures - but plenty of Meshuggah etc.
Found plenty of new bands through Spotify, and re-discovered old ones. Great stuff all in all.
-
I've been using this all day its constantly impressing me. :D
-
Yeah, I had another quick look last night - even more impressed now.
At the moment it looks like this will prove a "life enhancing" freebie for me... :lol:
