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
