oh are there no ads on the mac version? I haven't encountered any yet although I keep thinking after every song I listen to that I'm going to be hit with an ad for the new Kings of Leon album or something totally unrelated to whatever I'm listening to.

I think Grimly means he's not using it as a result of scrobbling probs, so he's not subjected to the ads.

^ Er, yes, exactly.

I'm refusing to listen to music played in shops or on builder's radios until they sort out the scrobbling problems.

A principled stand.
― zero learnt from nero (Neil S), Wednesday, 11 March 2009 12:31 (seventeen years ago)
sorry, yeah, I just got my first ever ad (kings of leon as predicted), but it took about 20 songs for it to happen.

Well, in fairness: "Oh, yeh, this is fixed now ... er, sorry, we can't be arsed rolling the thing out yet, though" (which is effectively what they're saying) is a bit of a cunty attitude -- especially from a company who force updates on their users whether they want them or not.
― Atoms are "balls" (grimly fiendish), Wednesday, 11 March 2009 12:33 (seventeen years ago)
Aye they should say "Oh, yeh, this is fixed now ... er, sorry, we can't be arsed rolling the thing out yet, though, to be fair, free fucking music all day every day grimly wtf do you want for nothing eh eh?"

Pretty good bargaining tho: Give us some money or we'll keep hitting you with Script, Glasvegas and KoL adverts.

"Oh, yeh, this is fixed now ... er, sorry, we can't be arsed rolling the thing out yet, though, to be fair, free fucking music all day every day grimly wtf do you want for nothing eh eh?"
Umm. Sorry, but "it's free" != "excuse for shit customer service". Many, many services work on a similar "free" model these days (which probably won't last); when you've got 100-odd people saying, politely: "This isn't working properly, can you fix it?" and you're basically told: "Aye, it's fixed, but fuck off, you're not important enough for us to bother rolling it out" ... well, you might think that's reasonable, but I'm not so sure.
Also: if I was paying for it, I'd be in the same boat. <- Shittest argument ever, but hey :)

Do you not use it then?
― zero learnt from nero (Neil S), Wednesday, 11 March 2009 13:15 (seventeen years ago)
i do but im getting bored of it. It's fine for well known music on major labels but if they dont expand to get more obscure stuff im gonna end up never using it.
― Pfunkboy in blood drenched rabbit suit jamming in the woods (Herman G. Neuname), Wednesday, 11 March 2009 13:16 (seventeen years ago)
Yeah I can see that. At the moment there's more than enough major label stuff to keep me happy though!
― zero learnt from nero (Neil S), Wednesday, 11 March 2009 13:33 (seventeen years ago)
The huge selection of Blue Note Jazz is what's keeping me on it. Hopefully they will license stuff from some of the independent labels i like (southern lord,hydrahead etc)
― Pfunkboy in blood drenched rabbit suit jamming in the woods (Herman G. Neuname), Wednesday, 11 March 2009 16:19 (seventeen years ago)
Recommend some of said jazz. As you say, the dearth of alternative labels is bad, although recent additions of Domino and Warp are a step in the right direction.
― zero learnt from nero (Neil S), Wednesday, 11 March 2009 17:18 (seventeen years ago)
wel the usual suspects of miles davis, john coltrane, sun ra, charles mingus are all up there along with Archie Shepp, Albert Ayler, Pharaoh Sanders,sonny rollins, alice coltrane, lonnie liston smith etc
plus pretty much all the Blue Note roster. Grant green, lee morgan, lou donaldson,wayne shorter , donald byrd, joe henderson, hank mobley, babyface willete to name a few.

Spotify really needs a browse by genre and artists by alphabetical order list
― Pfunkboy in blood drenched rabbit suit jamming in the woods (Herman G. Neuname), Wednesday, 11 March 2009 17:25 (seventeen years ago)

Nice one, thanks Herman, will start digging!

"Root Down and Get It" is great, and familiar from the Beastie Boys track of the similar name.

Do they not play adverts during the weekend then? I played three full albums and some assorted tracks on Spotify this w/end and never once had an ad inturrupting.
― DavidM, Monday, 16 March 2009 13:38 (seventeen years ago)
xpost. I didn't think you needed an invite anymore. If you need one, I'll mail one to you.

― Pfunkboy in blood drenched rabbit suit jamming in the woods (Herman G. Neuname), Tuesday, 17 March 2009 11:36 (seventeen years ago)
I saw Zarif supporting Chris Brown in January. Perhaps the least effective arena support I've ever seen. Cheered to the rafters when she announced "And this is my last number"...
Good to see the 2020 label on Spotify, especially the superb Greg Wilson label comp from last year - highly recommended:
