Waiting for an invite.

Re: Spotify: Everyone Loves Music (or "Streaming is the Future")
 

Did the Coke link posted earlier in the thread die? I just used it for someone else a few days ago, and it still worked then.

Re: Spotify: Everyone Loves Music (or "Streaming is the Future")
 

If any of you guys have an extra invite I'd love one to try this out.

EDIT:

Got one! I also sent messages to the last few here asking for one.

Re: Spotify: Everyone Loves Music (or "Streaming is the Future")
 

Ditto..

Re: Spotify: Everyone Loves Music (or "Streaming is the Future")
 

Now that's what I'm talking about. Digging the radio. Is there a skip limit like Pandora? Can't imagine there would be considering the nature of the app.

Re: Spotify: Everyone Loves Music (or "Streaming is the Future")
 

Thanks to Brent for a code.

Out the gate, I like it but if there's a 10 hour limit on the free version then it's severely limited. $5 for unlimited with no ads is not too bad though.

Re: Spotify: Everyone Loves Music (or "Streaming is the Future")
 

The opposite - lawn Sat/seats Sun.

And...oh my - I see your playlist has grown!

Re: Spotify: Everyone Loves Music (or "Streaming is the Future")
 

Thanks for the code Brent.

Now I can check it out tonight on my PC.

Re: Spotify: Everyone Loves Music (or "Streaming is the Future")
 

Wait, there's a way to follow and provide suggestions without linking to Facebook?

Also, a few things I'm curious (for the free version):

- Can you add columns? I'd like to see play count, and track order
- Can you sequence and lock play lists? I accidentally clicked on Name, and the order went out the window!

Re: Spotify: Everyone Loves Music (or "Streaming is the Future")
 

Lucky. Hopefully both nights are equally awesome. Might still look for seating on Sunday. We'll see how that goes.

Yep, added full albums to the playlist.

Re: Spotify: Everyone Loves Music (or "Streaming is the Future")
 

I got an invite, and have been playing around a bit. I'm surprised there isn't a genre for metal. While I like searching for individual bands, and artists, to check out, I'd kind of like a Pandora-style setup. If that's what the Artist radio is for, I'll look for the update this weekend. I look forward to different forums setting up their own playlist groups.

Re: Spotify: Everyone Loves Music (or "Streaming is the Future")
 

I noticed a couple of things today...

- none of the White Stripes songs that came up in my random playlist worked.
- i could have sworn I had more Raconteurs queued...but the album(s) are not to be found. (maybe only one was there - but I think at least one was) only singles are now available

Did Jack White get pissy with them or something?

Re: Spotify: Everyone Loves Music (or "Streaming is the Future")
 

I could use an invite if anyone has one lying around.

Re: Spotify: Everyone Loves Music (or "Streaming is the Future")
 

there was a way, Chevy made a mistake in their invites, and those who got an invite before a certain date got 6 months free premium, but that's over now.

Re: Spotify: Everyone Loves Music (or "Streaming is the Future")
 

can it be used simultaneously on multiple devices? like if i had it open on my pc, then i wanted to use it on my android at the same time?

check your pm

btw, i have more invites, pm me if you want one.

Re: Spotify: Everyone Loves Music (or "Streaming is the Future")
 

I would love an invite. Anyone?

Re: Spotify: Everyone Loves Music (or "Streaming is the Future")
 

Yes and no, but mostly no. It'll stop playing on the first device (in your example, your PC) as soon as you start playing music on your second device (Android phone or other PC).
The only way to get around that is to cache the songs you want to listen to on either device and keep one of them in offline mode.
So, to put it in other words, Spotify won't let you stream music to two devices at the exact same time, and will only let you play cached music on two devices at once if one of them is "offline" so the Spotify server can't detect it.
This is solely because of licensing. They've been asked since the beginning about "family" accounts with a minor discount (ie: I'd easily pay $17/month for my wife and I to stream at the same time), but they said that all of their licensing agreements would have to be re-negotiated for that feature. Maybe they're working on it. Who knows...

Re: Spotify: Everyone Loves Music (or "Streaming is the Future")
 

So, if I understood you correctly, I can cache for offline use on my Android, Palm, and iPhone, and then use it to stream on my pc, that'd mean that i could use it on 3 cached devices max simultaneously while i stream on my pc?

PM sent. btw, i still have more invites, pm me in case anyone needs.

Re: Spotify: Everyone Loves Music (or "Streaming is the Future")
 

I wonder if I'm alone in having downloaded Spotify, but not really even bothering to play with it? With my iPod and satellite radio I haven't quite figured out why I need it.

Re: Spotify: Everyone Loves Music (or "Streaming is the Future")
 

Correct. The only catch is that you might have to set your Android, Palm, and iPhone Spotify apps to "offline" mode in order to ensure your PC streaming doesn't get interrupted when you start playing music (cached or not) on any of those other devices. I haven't had a chance to test that.

Re: Spotify: Everyone Loves Music (or "Streaming is the Future")
 

I am using it for listening to albums and songs that I have always wanted to hear but never could listen to them. I wasn't one to download stuff illegally so I missed out on lots of music since I wasn't going to throw 10 bucks or more out on a cd just because a few people suggested it.

Spotify lets me try almost anything I have ever wanted to hear. To me it is an album-lover's dream. I have used it everyday since I joined up.

I also have a couple of buddies who are on it that are very music-knowledgeable, know the kind of stuff I like, and they suggest albums to me constantly or put in in a shared playlist.

I'm in fucking heaven right now. Best time for music I have personally had since I worked at a music store back in college.

Re: Spotify: Everyone Loves Music (or "Streaming is the Future")
 

:up:

Re: Spotify: Everyone Loves Music (or "Streaming is the Future")
 

do you own every CD ever made?

Re: Spotify: Everyone Loves Music (or "Streaming is the Future")
 

No kidding. I was skeptical of Spotify at first, but I absolutely love it. I found the New Releases playlist that gets refreshed every Tuesday. I subscribed to it, and pull out the ones I want to keep around into a separate playlist. I had no idea Fountains of Wayne had a new release this week until I checked the list. Now I'm listening to it.
