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'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:)

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:)

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.

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.
