^send me some playlists. "bri4n"

7/15/2011 7:15:09 PM

yall giving out invites in here?

7/15/2011 9:05:30 PM

I just got my invite. I can't tell if I have any to give out. Where does that show up?

7/15/2011 9:07:52 PM

Under share Spotify, you probably don't have any.

7/15/2011 9:26:35 PM

I couldn't wait for an invite so I just went ahead and got premium.

7/15/2011 9:45:29 PM

Cool. Gimme an invite token, I'm down to my last one ;p

7/15/2011 10:58:45 PM

Just signed up for Premium. So far I'm impressed. Interface is friendly and idiot-proff. I'd prefer if it didn't have facebook shit all over the place, but maybe there's a way to get rid of all that.

I hope they add blackberry compatability at some point. Yes I'm one of the 13 assholes who still has a blackberry

$9.99 a month? I was intrigued, but I think I'll stick with Last.fm, where I get a decent radio with music I like (don't have to make playlists), recommended radio to discover new music, its on my 360, and pay $3/month for mobile.

I might try out the free version on my laptop still.

Her invites seem to be going out within 24 hours.

The most intriguing feature that drew me to premium is the high quality stream. Sounds great in my home receiver & speakers. I figure for the price of a couple micro brew beers at the bar each month, it's worth it.

Most of the invites here are supposed to show up in under 2 hours. I think mine took like 45 minutes. I did the Coca-Cola one, but I think they're all the same.

^thanks for link. got an invite from Talib Kweli within 15 minutes

I've had Spotify for about 2 years. Like someone else, I also had a UK account that I'd log into once every 2 weeks with a VPN trial. Once Grooveshark took off, it wasn't worth the effort. It's nice re-discovering it now that it's launched here and finding lots of songs that I had never added to GS because I had only found them via shared playlists.

That's really the best feature of Spotify, the shared playlists. Grooveshark is pretty much better in every other way--besides an iPhone client--especially price. I pay $3/mo for mobile access. I'm grandfathered in, you can't get that deal anymore. But they're still cheaper for everyone else at $9/mo instead of Spotify's $10/mo. Grooveshark also offers yearly purchase discounts $90/yr vs Spotify's $120/yr. Lastly, each season, Spotify sells shirts in their web store that come with 1 free year of Grooveshark Anywhere access--all for ~$20. Can't beat that!

The version of Spotify everyone is trying out through these invites is called "Spotify Open." After the trial is up, they will likely revert to the "Spotify Free" terms, which means only 10 hr of streaming/month without purchasing a premium account. If at that point you think Spotify is worth the extra $1/mo or $30/yr (or $100/yr if you get the shirt deal) just for its playlist capabilities, consider this alternative: Use Spotify Free to subscribe to the playlists, and then copy them over to Grooveshark using http://groovylists.com/http://groovylists.com/
I have not yet found any tool to convert Grooveshark playlists to Spotify though

is that a typo?

I have the premium version it sucks compared to just torrenting the damn songs.

7/18/2011 12:42:33 AM

PM me if you want an invite

7/18/2011 12:54:23 AM

do i need an invite for this shit? can someone give me one?

7/18/2011 5:05:48 AM

Is grooveshark illegal?

http://www.digitalmusicnews.com/stories/041811grooveshark

7/18/2011 10:14:48 AM

under the DMCA, it's legal, it's like youtube.

is it licensed? no. but Grooveshark doesn't provide the music.

it will probably hinge on the outcome of youtube vs. viacom

I submitted a request for an invite today. Waiting on it so I can be hero to all my friends.

7/18/2011 11:25:44 AM

^you don't get to invite people once you join, as far as i know only a select few have the ability to invite others.

7/19/2011 10:32:08 AM

is there a time limit on the spotify free version?

7/19/2011 11:06:43 AM

ive been trying to figure out the same thing... doesnt say on their website, but I believe, from other sources, its 10 hours a month? this correct?... the UK Spotify Free was 20 hours and had a sort of timer bar at the top of the client which isnt there in the USA spotify free.

Is this sarcasm? It's much easier to click on a song and have it play then having to search for it then download it and wait. I don't see what's "easier" about torrenting. On spotify it's just all there streaming.

But to that point when I find new albums on Spotify I like I do go ahead and download them in better quality. Haha.

"The Spotify Service can be accessed (i) as an ad-supported free-to-the-user service having no monthly cap on listening hours or a cap on number of plays of a unique track during the first 6 months following creation of your Spotify account but thereafter a cap of 10 listening hours per month and a cap of 5 plays per unique track (the “Free Service”), (ii) as an advertisement free version of the Spotify Service for which you pay a monthly or yearly subscription (the “Unlimited Service”), (iii) as an advertisement free version of the Spotify Service including an offline mode which makes it possible to listen to music without a connection to the Internet via conditional downloads and other additional features for which you pay a monthly or yearly subscription (the “Premium Service”), and (iv) as a version of the Spotify Service that provides access to aspects of the Spotify Service via a supported mobile handset (the “Mobile Service”)."

so you get free reign to everything for the 1st six months, then the restrictions come in unless you pay $14.50 a month (I believe thats what they are charging). I'm not sure if the 5 song cap resets every month or is a forever cap

7/20/2011 6:51:10 PM

You mean $4.99 or $9.99?

7/20/2011 8:14:49 PM

yeah lame

They added artist radio today. Click on an artist then there's an option at the top.

7/27/2011 2:52:06 PM

As much as I love Spotify, if they're going to make the mobile app sub based only then they better have some pretty damn active development going into it.

I can't even star a track from le' phone. :/

7/27/2011 2:54:58 PM

I see the Artist Radio tab but how the hell do you actually use it (or is it not an actual radio like last.fm etc?)


wow nevermind figured it out... feel like a tard now

at the bottom has album pictures with a big ass play sign on it

Just found their extensive karaoke library, there went the last hour burning through all the chili peppers and weezer

The slick interface and near instant playtimes I like a lot better than grooveshark, but I doubt I'd pony up for either of them.

Anyone try this? Sounds neat.

-ok this is really awesome.

Spotify + Last.fm + truShuffle. Makes a live playlist using what you Scromble to last.fm and adds it as a collaborate playlist on Spotify.

7/30/2011 4:17:39 PM

I entered two songs at random when I first downloaded the client. Bitches Ain't Shit, by Dr. Dre, and Never Ever, by All Saints. They don't have either song. Weird.

8/2/2011 1:54:38 PM

^ They both show up on mine.

*edit - My bad. I have Dr. Dre uploaded from my collection & the other one is apparently a remix. Guess I need to pay more attention.
