What is spotify?
Spotify is an on-demand streaming music service. It allows streaming of millions of songs to your computer at a low monthly fee.
I’ve been using Spotify Premium for a couple of weeks now. It’s a great service, delivering on demand music to my Mac and iPhone at great quality for 99kr (£9,99) a month. This service is currently only available in Europe, but they are planing on expanding.
I recommend Spotify to everybody who listen to music often. If you want an invite to the free version of Spotify (ad-supported), just send me an email. I have several invites left.
Tech specs:
- PC/Mac streams at 320kbps ogg/vorbis (premium only, free is 160kbps)
- iPhone streams at 160kbps
- OS required: Mac OS X 10.4 or later, Windows XP, or Linux with Wine
- Buffer HDD space recommended
Notes
Some users are having problem with 320kbps streams. Here is the fix.
Spotify for iPhone requires a premium account.
Props to Spotify for using open source software and open standards, and for giving us usable sound quality and Wine support!
I want spotify to add Metallica and Pink floyd to their collection!
