Are any of you using this? Many music experts have claimed that it'll be the 'future of music on the internet'.

I think it's pretty good on the free pass. The music-related advert every 5-7 tracks isn't too intrusive and I think is worth the hassle if you get to listen to albums in their entirety before considering whether to buy them. I've already listened to loads of albums for free which I wouldn't ordinarily have bothered with.

Spotify is great. I've been using it since January. I've got a few invites if anyone wants one. The adverts aren't too annoying and it's got singles with B-sides and stuff that I haven't been able to get hold of elsewhere.

The collaborative playlists are quite cool, if you link someone a playlist then you can both add things to it and share the stuff you've found. I've been using it more than my own music lately.

I believe the content is paid for through the ad revenue it generates therefore isn't illegal. I think it states somewhere on their site that they have clearance to deliver the content legally.

I've now signed up - although annoyingly enough they've listed my location as 'Spain' and they won't let me change it. Generally I like it so far, although I'm a bit disappointed that you can't download anything. Oh well, at least this means I can listen to the new Franz Ferdinand album now, I wasn't sure whether or not to buy it given some of the reviews it's had.

So save the last dance

The way you've written this makes it look like spam... :P

"you want software for freeee? geunin widnows no spyware!!"

Yeah, it's great, has lots of random stuff on it that I don't have, especially B-sides from singles and live versions.

Incidentally, anyone who's got Spotify and wants a laugh, check out the Mandarin, Japanese and Spanish versions of Girlfriend by Avril Lavigne.

I don't know if there's a Linux version... most likely not, cos it's quite new.

No excuse. And I just checked, and no there isn't :( and I'm not running it on WINE cos it won't do it right.

Everyone seems to be banging on about this Spotify atm, I've already got Last.fm so I don't really see the point in signing up to a similar site that from what I've read has annoying ads in it.

i have had one advert so far & i have had it on for about 45 mins

    • I see Katie (and Mairead) were out with Jordan tonight.  I don’t listen to the show any longer, I am shocked they are allowed to mention Jordan.
    • At least I do not ask stupid questions…😂
    • I suggest you follow the other DJs too if so, you will learn the hardest working will go further 🤣
    • A simple check on his instagram would answer all your questions , he’s on tour with his wife and the team behind his podcast. I suggest anyone to follow the radio presenters, you will learn a lot about their other jobs and work commitments. 
    • Where is Jamie? It felt like he was settling in when Vick wasn’t on but he’s not been on since last Tuesday now. They’ve not even mentioned him, in fact they’ve mentioned Jordan more than they’ve mentioned him in the last two days.
    • Scott's show is on the road next week, live from Malmö in Sweden on Wednesday and Friday, ahead of Eurovision. As he's doing the semi final coverage on the TV on Tuesday and Thursday alongside Rylan, Gary Davies sits in for him on those days.
    • I don't feel there's so much overlap between M&M and Scott's shows. M&M is of a similar calibre to Scott & Chris on R1, with genuine laugh out loud moments and usually a show packed full of real interesting content. Scott's R2 show is IMO a shadow of the stuff he did on R1 (not his fault, he's doing exactly what station management want), with music and content to appeal to a much older audience.
    • To be fair, Scott & Chris would've still been fine on Radio 1. It was mentioned at the time that Scott's move was very much on Radio 2's part rather than Radio 1 wanting to move them on. That's the one problem that Radio 2 has, trying to appeal to such a wide demographic.. it's the perfect listen for many, but equally a turn off for many others. I think they have the balance fairly right.     
    • I agree Scott has always been a good standalone presenter, but always better when with someone. When chappers left the radio one show it felt a different show and Chris joining was what it needed and brought new life. for the format of the radio 2 show Scott’s show fits well with the station but again, there’s the huge gap between radio1 and 2 As been said already old radio2 listeners feel it now feels too young with latest changes, yet old radio1 listeners still feel radio 2 feels too old. The inbetween stage demographic of too old for radio 1 but too young for radio 2 is still not catered for radio 2 was left to grow old with its audience for too long and to change things up now feels to try and change a brand image the right thing to do is leave it as it is and cater for that 1.5 demographic which I’m sure the new proposed 00s and 10s station will do if approved. Problem is it’s so overdue that by the time it gets off the ground these listeners are already likely to be lost and the changing image of radio2 likely to lose what it stands for as a brand with the “it’s too young now “  moving to boom and the “ it still sounds old “ crowd not able to move with their favourite presenters like Scott so finding themself on capital a radio 1.5 would have been perfect for Scott and Chris, seems unlikely but this is why I think who branding of bbc radio needs a rethink if these new stations get off ground
    • Bank Holiday Monday Schedule 6am-10am: Arielle Free in for Greg 10am-2pm: Dean & Vicky (No Rickie, Melvin & Charlie) 2pm-6pm: Vick & Jamie (No Katie) 6pm onwards: As normal.
    • Dare I say they've sounded great this past week?  Very much gelling.  Maybe less pressure?  Seem to be having a genuinely good time and not forcing things.
    • I'm in the minority in my workplace, most of them love country music.  Me, the American, does not care for it.  That said, I haven't haaaaaated some of the country adjacent stuff that's been on the R1 playlist.  
    • The Eurovision semi finals are on from 8 to 10pm on Tuesday 7th and Thursday 9th May with Richie Anderson. That means Sara Cox in on till 8 on those days.  Saturday 11th May is Eurovision 'Super Saturday... 1-3pm Your Ultimate Abba song with Gary Davies  3-6pm Michelle Visage's Eurovision All Stars 6-8pm Eurovision Request Party with Owain Wynn Evans 8pm Eurovision Grand Final with Scott Mills and Rylan Clark  
    • It is funny because everyone thought Matt was on the way out, now he's been described as the heir to Mills.
