i have never invited anyone, but somehow i have no invites. sorry dudes

8/17/2011 8:51:58 PM

^are you premium? I don't think trial members get invites.

8/17/2011 9:04:26 PM

are the invites you guys have different from what trent has? if so, i may want one. trent's just gets me the basic account.

8/17/2011 9:16:08 PM

I don't think they are any different but I don't know. I'm not sure how I would check.

8/17/2011 9:19:01 PM

The invites we have are instant and you can actually just post the tokens if you want to create a "first come first serve" scenario. Whereas at least early on, the "So and so has been given invites -- enter your email to receive one" deal would take a couple of days or longer at times.

Also, I am getting fucking PISSED at this "Spotify is already running but not responding" bug. It wouldn't be an issue if they didn't LOCK THE PROCESS AND PREVENT ME FROM ENDING IT OR EVEN KILLING IT. It's ridiculous and rebooting is the only way to fix it.

That said, here's a couple of codes.

Ohh okay. I got my email code thing within 5 mins or so. Maybe it just depends on traffic.

What are you running it on? I don't think I've had a single issue with it yet and I run it 9+ hours every day since I signed up. (Win7 Pro 64-bit & OSX 10.6-10.7)

8/18/2011 2:10:35 PM

Win7 Ultimate 64.

8/18/2011 2:27:23 PM

I for one am going to be major when my 6 months (or whatever it is) of unlimited play is over... dont wanna spend 5 bucks on that shit

8/18/2011 2:59:23 PM

im spending 10 :/ but i use the fuck out of it.

8/18/2011 3:06:43 PM

wow, looks like a fun issue to google. Looks like there's a bunch of people with the same issue but they all seem to be in another language (I guess since it's been in Europe so long before here). Did find an english thread that shows that it's been going on for about 3 years though (http://getsatisfaction.com/spotify/topics/spotify_freezing_restart_is_the_only_solution if you haven't already found it). Good luck with it.


*edit* I'm also on the $10 plan since I spend a good 40-50 hours a week with it running on something I own (desktop, laptop, iphone, or ipad).

still up for grabs

8/31/2011 3:26:52 PM

This is such a great program. It makes parties so much more intuitive.

9/29/2011 11:26:16 AM

What?

9/29/2011 11:31:05 AM

Ugh this shit is already taking over my mini feed. Who listens to Big Tymers while in their upper 20s?

9/29/2011 12:13:46 PM

These ads are really great.

"Listen to the best hits of the 90s like Britney Spears, Dave Matthews Band..."

9/29/2011 3:56:00 PM

i wish they had a web app instead of a desktop client

"What?"

Laptop hooked to speakers with Spotify open, party-goers add music to a party playlist throughout the night as they see fit.

It has its pros and cons, but it is certainly enjoyable.

In the year 3030, everybody wants to be a DJ; but with Spotify, everyone can be.

9/29/2011 6:42:16 PM

I never realized a party could be non-intuitive, I guess

9/29/2011 6:50:50 PM

Oh.

Yeah my original post was less than coherent.

*Spotify facilitates an overall improved musical experience at parties by incorporating the interests of the group throughout the entirety of an evening.

Or, Spotify is awesome.

9/29/2011 7:14:31 PM

threadjack...

how the heck are you guys listening to 40 hours of music a month on your computer? do you have it playing in the background at home or something? can you guys actually listen to it at work? I haven't listened to that much music since I was in school, and I know most of you fuckers aint in school anymore Man, I've missed that. Only time I listen to music now is when I work out. Do yall still use Winamp, or am I way behind on that, too, lol

10/5/2011 8:54:29 PM

I have my Spotify running pretty much all day at work when I'm in the office

10/5/2011 8:58:22 PM

well, if I ever get a decent job where music is allowed, I'll prolly do that.

10/5/2011 9:03:13 PM

I was told that I could listen to the spotify at a reasonable volume from nine to eleven.

10/5/2011 10:13:16 PM

I am in a support operations center and use a headset/mic combo for calls from our classes. When I am not doing that though, I am free to listen to music, stream Netflix, or whatever. Advantage of dual screens. So I just mute/pause whenever we get a service request. I can stream/listen all day long.

Fucking desktop app pisses me off at least once a day. It will crash and then you can't end the spotify process without rebooting.

10/6/2011 4:18:14 PM

:mad: :mad:

10/19/2011 10:42:41 AM

Searching for artists is lame. I did a search for Simon and Garfunkel and it only returned one song. The problem was the search didn't include Simon & Garfunkel.

10/20/2011 6:33:44 PM

All the songs came up for me when I searched for "Simon and Garfunkel"

10/20/2011 8:09:51 PM

I don't know if invites are still important, but if anyone wants one let me know.

10/20/2011 9:17:13 PM

Paid account is awesome.

11/12/2011 9:01:30 PM

So you can search for a username and "subscribe" to that user's playlist. So whenever they add a song to that playlist, you see it.

Anyone know any good users to subscribe to? I tried to google it up but I kept running into LMFAO and Pit Bull.

11/17/2011 7:54:41 AM

http://open.spotify.com/user/andreanjos i like his 2011 list, but i wish he was more active

11/17/2011 9:17:00 AM

Anybody getting a 404?

11/27/2011 4:52:03 PM

Anyone upgraded to 0.8? The apps are pretty sweet.

12/21/2011 2:18:39 PM

First six months are running out for people who signed up last summer. I think I have about a week left and I'll definitely be paying for premium when it does.

What about everybody else?

1/12/2012 9:03:34 AM

Been paying for premium. The app / higher quality music is worth it alone IMHO.

1/12/2012 9:06:56 AM

Anyone know of a way to organize your playlists...outside of playing with them in the left frame of the app? i've got so many playlists it'd be easier to manipulate them in a windows explorer like view or something

1/12/2012 10:07:12 AM

I pay to use the mobile app. I actually don't use the desktop one that often for some reason.

1/12/2012 10:08:19 AM

All these clean rap songs are annoying

ok so you pull up an artist, and sometimes the explicit albums aren't there...but if you search for a song name, if there's an explicit version of the song, there's usually an explicit version of the whole album.

[Edited on February 3, 2012 at 5:34 PM. Reason : should be easier to find]

2/3/2012 5:23:09 PM

So remind me again, why is $9.99/mo a better deal on Spotify, than $8.25/month for a Zune Pass?

My dad got Spotify because I got him an Android Tablet.
So is that it? Just that no one owns a WinPhone to make the Zune Pass worthwhile?

For less money, I get to keep music every month, and get unlimited Music Videos too.

2/3/2012 9:54:36 PM

I pay the fee to use the app on android. I don't have a windows phone, but if the services were equal I personally don't have any loyalty to Spotify.

Keeping songs doesn't really do anything for me. I can't even remember the last time I downloaded an mp3.

2/4/2012 1:22:27 PM

Keeping? You can download the songs from the Zune service? Is it a rental scenario?
I'm almost never without internet connectivity so I don't really care about local file storage (except when my spotify app is messing up )

And I'm not sure I'd define $1.75 as less money

+1

Can you create playlists with Zune? Is the music catalog as large?

2/4/2012 3:48:31 PM

^Yes you can, and they are shared in the community so if you're lazy like me you just follow a few people who religiously update them, or favorite any number of the curated playlists that are updated weekly.

And yes you get 10 songs a month DRM free to keep (though like you guys, I admittedly forget to use this a LOT). I just love it because it's instant-on music on my phone, pc and xbox. No syncing with a computer, no bullshit rights management, it just works.

Oh and speaking of playlists, the Smart DJ/Smart VJ options are amazing too, and now available on mobile/pc/xbox as well. Basically like the iTunes Genius functionality except with the entire catalog.

I'm sure the catalog isn't as big as iTunes, but other than Led Zeppelin and some Girl Talk mix tapes, I've never not found what I was looking for on Zune Pass.
