Thanks!

i don't see the advantage of spotify over, say, emusic plus access to clips on youtube and everywhere else these days. but i'd like to investigate. if anyone has an extra invitation available, i'd be grateful for it.

'Night Beat's' available in the UK, no sign of Cormega's 2005 album.
I wouldn't sweat about missing some stuff at the moment, there's a good chance that it'll turn up eventuall. Kate Bush and Underworld's catalogue was only recently made available in the UK for example.

they don't have A LOT... like, I made a playlist and then realized they didn't have like 90% of the songs on it, so anyone I shared it with couldn't listen to most of the songs
the idea is cool, but really I don't get the point of spotify when I have my itunes and a large hard drive?

the idea is to give artists & especially labels control over our access to music once again
― Gatsby was a success, in the end, wasn't he? (D-40), Sunday, 24 July 2011 20:49 (twelve years ago) link
that we'll give up free music in favor of convenient music, i guess
I am pleasantly surprised.Is it worth it to pony up for premium if the ads aren't bothering me?
Why can't you browse by genre in either of these services? I mainly want to use it to try out dance / electronic music but usually have to browse another site to find artists and songs to cue.
― YO MAMA. (Mount Cleaners), Sunday, 24 July 2011 20:55 (twelve years ago) link
you can search by genre but it isn't great - I think it shows most played songs by default
― a million anons (onimo), Sunday, 24 July 2011 21:05 (twelve years ago) link
you can search by label too

i think the other thing is that this site isn't really gonna have an effect on the way i consume music generally? that new mixtapes arent typically gonna be going up there, nor are most of the major artists' releases that i listen to. so i mean, in terms of access this isn't changing a whole lot. i mean, its impressive abstractly but functionally for my purposes its less 'revolutionary' than idk digitaldripped or hans-kingofthedrugs

ah, from npr -- http://www.npr.org/blogs/therecord/2011/07/14/137842612/spotify-has-arrived-stateside-heres-what-you-need-to-know:
**Update (7/13/11 at 5:30pm): Spotify clears this up as well. They do, in fact, have a contract with Sub Pop. The fact that a number of albums from the label weren't available this morning is due to the fact that they're still in the process of loading many songs into their digital catalog.

thanking u sub pop & spotify
If it lets me listen to Twister by Unrest without buying it or taking the time to look for a download (and it does) it's worth the $9.99 this month. I can't imagine that something similar isn't true for everyone else. I still want Drag City (who are also absent from Rhapsody).

Surely you'd care about he opportunity to easily search for, eg house music or something else you're moderately interested in? It's never gonna have every free mixtape on it but you're gonna listen to most of them anyway.
As a research tool or just something for happily stumbling across things Spotify is pretty much amazing.
Also sharemyplaylists.com us worth repping for - it's good to just search for 'Balearic' or 'Berlin 2011' and just happily listen for an hour or two.
― Matt DC, Monday, 25 July 2011 15:54 (twelve years ago) link
yeah that seems like exactly what it's for, i.e. not for going deeper in a genre you're already deep in.

Anybody having problem with Spotify stopping after playing ads sometimes? Lately I've run into an issue where Spotify will play an ad through to the end, but then it won't do anything else... it doesn't play another ad or the next song on my playlist, it just stops. If I click on another song to play it, the pop up comes up saying "'song x' will play as soon as the current ad is finished', but nothing is playing. So far the only solution I've found is to shut down Spotify and restart it - works, but very annoying. I read somewhere that cleaning out the cache can help, but that doesn't seem to make a difference with this problem.
― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Tuesday, 26 July 2011 03:56 (twelve years ago) link
idk if it's me or the program but there have been a couple times when i've had to restart it to get it to play tunes again
― markers, Tuesday, 26 July 2011 03:59 (twelve years ago) link
same for me. the free us version of spotify is pretty terrible.
― brotherlovesdub, Tuesday, 26 July 2011 04:17 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, this happened to me once. I figured I was lucky that it was just once.

I've had it just stop in the middle of songs a couple of times on the paid version. changing to another track fixes it though.

That album "The Chronic" by that dude Dr. Dre is also missing.
― billstevejim, Tuesday, 26 July 2011 05:31 (twelve years ago) link
Also some artists have individual songs missing... "You Made Me Realise" & "Sister Ray" .. weird..

who even owns the death row masters? didn't they get auctioned off or something

It's probably a Death Row thing. They don't have every prominent album ever made and complaining it doesn't is kinda entitled bullshit.

The Chronic was on UK Spotify a couple of months ago then disappeared.
