dunno if all of these will still feature on the USA Spotify but this list of The Best 100 Comedy Albums on there is great

also a couple of good p!tchfork playlists, based on their recent 'tracks of the 90s/00s' lists on the site:
http://open.spotify.com/user/jrisgod/playlist/7K4gKC0gMk7ZsSYWERY96a Top 500 of the 2000shttp://open.spotify.com/user/aphone/playlist/3HG5Hc8SRHjiDVtzsTLyxp Top 200 of the 1990s
again that's presuming they work in American mode.

go to the website and log in; when you click on your username in the upper-right corner of the page you should see a "share Spotify" link that should lead you to a page where you can create and send invites
― a variable (sic) "League of Nations" (DJP), Monday, 18 July 2011 21:16 (thirteen years ago) link
or from the spotify application, click once on your username, select 'account', click on 'share spotify' tab

like
me & santa claus pull up the new washed out album, the arrow on my screen hovers over the "play" button & as i go to click the mouse it switches to slow motion. as i make contact with the mouse, moisture sprays from the mouse as the first song on the washed out album plays joyously. i turn to santa and dramatically snap open a can of coke, he grabs a glass bottle and cheers. i turn to the camera and say "thanks, coke!"
idk

The new Washed Out isn't available on Spotify (at least in the US and I assume elsewhere if it's on Sub Pop worldwide), so I'm guessing this won't happen. Not that I mean to destroy a dream or anything.

In my spotify library of my own files, every track name is highlighted, but only some of the album and artist names are highlighted with a link - even the same artist in the same album. Is there a reason?
― Spencer Chow, Monday, 18 July 2011 23:29 (thirteen years ago) link
OK, I'm already converted because it is reading my iTunes library (~500 GB) and yet it is SO MUCH FASTER than iTunes, which is barely usable on my computer. Playlists created by others automatically pick up the tracks already in my library and play those high-bitrate mp3s instead of streaming. The playlists are the long-term 'killer app' aspect of this service but the ease of integration with my current setup is pretty amazing.

I wonder if the artist gets paid royalties on the stuff that you import from itunes. Part of the nice thing about a subscription model like this is that artists can presumably make a tiny fraction of a cent when you listen to the stuff you downloaded illegally.

It was one of those moments...
I logged onto spotify, and found some of my own performed tracks on there I was like "WHAT IS GOING ON?? GET ME KATE'S SOLICITOR!!" until I worked out it had added mine own library to my own stew, not anyone elses...

Fwwi, this one is available on Spotify for me (Europe), it's licensed by Domino Recs.

Yeah, Sub Pop is a glaring omission at this point.

sound quality of this is p bad but it's cool to be able to check out stuff.
hey, do they have radio stations you can make quickly like last.fm?
i kinda miss that functionality, maybe i'm not seeing it.
― van ingalls wilder (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 19 July 2011 14:50 (thirteen years ago) link

There's a higher quality stream for subscribers.
― a million anons (onimo), Tuesday, 19 July 2011 15:16 (thirteen years ago) link
There's a radio link on the left menu that lets you choose from a list of genres or decades. On each artist page you also get an "Artist Radio" tab which plays music from that artist and whatever spotify deems to be related artists.
Neither is as good as last.fm radio or what I remember of Pandora from before the UK was blocked.
― a million anons (onimo), Tuesday, 19 July 2011 15:20 (thirteen years ago) link
Just had another wee play with it and artist radio is better than I thought - similar to Pandora. Great thing is every artist you see is a link that allows you to open that artist's radio page and branch off wherever the mood takes you in only a couple of clicks.
― a million anons (onimo), Tuesday, 19 July 2011 15:22 (thirteen years ago) link
radio stations on this are basically useless in my experience. usually it seems to pick a dozen or so albums and then just play random tracks off of those over and over. xp
― sonderangerbot, Tuesday, 19 July 2011 15:25 (thirteen years ago) link
it probably varies a lot depending on what genre+decade combination you use though?
i've really liked last.fm's stations, esp for stuff like blues and genres that i'm not super well versed in.
― van ingalls wilder (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 19 July 2011 15:28 (thirteen years ago) link
I hate that you can't copy and paste from spotify - I want to list an e.g. of an artist radio station but I have to type it out.
Gang of Four radio featuring: Wire, The Fall, The Slits, Magazine, Television, Orange Juice, Sonic Youth, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Television Personalities, Holy Fuck, Echo and the Bunnymen, XTC, The Beta Band, The Horrors, Minutemen, Pavement, Suicide, These New Puritans, Clinic, Art Brut
I'd be quite happy to leave that running for an hour.

everyone litsen to Mike Hanley "A Collection of Popular Melodies" so I can get a penny in royalties! (actually something like .0001 cent

so what's the deal with "local files," that's stuff that's on your iTunes but not on Spotify so you can only play them on your home computer? they are grayed out if they're not actually on your current hard drive?
― dmr, Tuesday, 19 July 2011 15:55 (thirteen years ago) link
Spotify read a tiny portion of my library which makes this pretty annoying. Anyway to get it to rescan? Anyone with a large iTunes library have issues?

Today it keeps just stopping on the last track of any album I listen to, about halfway through the song. I can't get it to start back up again and a replay ends up stopping it in the exact same place. Kinda weird.

why does it not play the next song in the search results after one is done
