Spotify - the best jukebox in the world?

Posted by: Diccus62 on 12 February 2009

Just downloaded the free version and was listening to Alela Diane' last album and now Elvis Presley's In the Ghetto. No buffering, no downloading, no sound drop out, good sound quality (IMO). Anyone else using it? They reckon most artists are on here with the exception of a few (Oasis, Beatles)

Don't know, haven't tried through sb3. It works well through Airfoil and Apple Express. No drop outs. First impression is that it sounds OK, similar to 128 mp3.

We've had it on for most of the weekend - my daughter has discovered it and the Playlist is just so like, cool now! Consisting of about 200 High School Musical tracks, the soundtrack to Mamma Mia, another 200 Abba songs, various Disney favourites and bizarrely Nite Club by The Specials...Anyhow, "When I See an Elephant Fly" through the full system sounds alright...

Hi,

Just realised that I can get it ----- if I pay, I appreciate that most/all of you are probably using the free version, my question is, would you pay for using it - current rate 99 euros per annum ?

I can't access it to make a judgement - so I would value your opinion Smile

personally I wouldn't but it depends on your economic situation and disposable income and how much time you may use it.Might be worth trying for a month and see how you get on.

Diccus Cheers for the heads up.
My Daughter told me about it.
But not being big into downloading myself.
Never bothered trying before.


I am here only for the pleasure of others, nothing else matters Winker

Just listening to Lindisfarne - Run for home, having downloaded Spotify and Airfoil.


The little Nait 2 I procured for the living room has suddenly had a huge new vista opened up for it.

Master Sloop Jnr was also highly impressed (nice to be one step ahead with the odd thing or two!)


So that's a thanks from me too.
