Jon, I agree, the advertising isn't that annoying and I am still not clear on what goodies I will get if I up to the $5 plan.
When I get more money, though, the $10 plan will be cool, would love to listen on my Blackberry.

There is no Spotify for Blackberry afaik - only iPhone/Android.

Oh, I had no idea, I thought one could listen on any phone. I'm sure in time you'll be able to get these services on any phone.

i can p much delete itunes and all of my mp3s?
not that i'm going to, but
― can afford a drug lifestyle ----► (k3vin k.), Wednesday, 27 July 2011 15:44 (twelve years ago) link
i mean i'm sure there's stuff they don't have and all but wow. and it scrobbles to last.fm!
I wouldn't go that far, I've gotten burned a couple of times by random songs being unavailable (why the hell would every song on Brandy's Full Moon be available EXCEPT for the two singles everyone knows and likes????) (well I can guess why but still)
but yes, the impulse is strong

it's pretty amazing as long as you accept it for what it is. i mean $5 (?) a month is still a bargain, but i never expect to find anything spotify.
― sonderangerbot, Wednesday, 27 July 2011 15:52 (twelve years ago) link
Just acquired a new phone and have 600 or so spotify offline tracks on it and none from itunes at the moment. pretty sure I'll add a few obscurish downloaded mixes but for now i'm quite happy. i would like to be able to browse through "my" tracks by artist/album etc but that's a minor price to pay for the convenience of wireless syncing.

― amada thuggindiss (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Wednesday, 27 July 2011 15:53 (twelve years ago) link
I'm not sure you can, actually! I think you have to enable Spotify social and then you can start adding ppl and browsing their playlists
― PAJAMARALLS? PAJAMALWAYS! (DJP), Wednesday, 27 July 2011 15:55 (twelve years ago) link
I still think there is a punishment to be had for being able to listen to whatever you want without paying.
― Indie Pop: Intelligent People's Music (Mount Cleaners), Wednesday, 27 July 2011 15:56 (twelve years ago) link
Well, supposedly in a few months some limits to the free hours per month are going to kick in.
― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Wednesday, 27 July 2011 15:59 (twelve years ago) link
Trust me, when you graduate to the paid ad-free service in a few months, you will seriously miss some of those ads. I almost want to email them and ask Dave and Zia and Jeff from Spotify and ask them how they're doing these days?
I just had that awful moment, when I was making a Spotify playlist for a friend and found myself wanting to tweak the BPM and maybe cut out the annoying outro to make a smoother transition - #headdesk #FrustratedDJ

Can you jump over onto the MOLLIFY thread on Idiot Thread Repository and tell Sara-RC you've got invites? She's dying to hear my playlists.

yup

dan are your playlists on sharemyplaylists? since im listening from my phone, im wondering how to listen to them.
― Cindy Mancini can ride my lawnmower anytime (thebingo), Wednesday, 27 July 2011 17:11 (twelve years ago) link
they aren't yet, I should throw them up there

yah

Tell me about it. Spotify currently does not have approximately 30% of what I have in iTunes, and I've never NOT been overwhelmed by what I need to process, but it is incredible and fast.
― A Chuck Person's Guide to Mark Aguirre (Andy K), Wednesday, 27 July 2011 17:20 (twelve years ago) link
I put my playlists up on sharemyplaylists, under the usename djperry1973, but I don't know how to effectively search for them
― PAJAMARALLS? PAJAMALWAYS! (DJP), Wednesday, 27 July 2011 17:30 (twelve years ago) link
search by member
― Cindy Mancini can ride my lawnmower anytime (thebingo), Wednesday, 27 July 2011 17:32 (twelve years ago) link
yeah Spotify is great but for me it's a supplement to vinyl / mp3's not a replacement
I plan to just keep using it free as a way to discover and try out new stuff
― dmr, Wednesday, 27 July 2011 17:32 (twelve years ago) link
found you dan, thanks!
― Cindy Mancini can ride my lawnmower anytime (thebingo), Wednesday, 27 July 2011 17:35 (twelve years ago) link
wait i can just go to "local files" and play songs from my itunes! i never have to open itunes again!(?)
― Notinnymane (k3vin k.), Wednesday, 27 July 2011 17:54 (twelve years ago) link
― PAJAMARALLS? PAJAMALWAYS! (DJP), Wednesday, 27 July 2011 17:55 (twelve years ago) link
beware of putting local files into your playlists, tho
― PAJAMARALLS? PAJAMALWAYS! (DJP), Wednesday, 27 July 2011 17:56 (twelve years ago) link
local files almost the best thing about spotify since it starts up 10000x faster than itunes
― sonderangerbot, Wednesday, 27 July 2011 18:03 (twelve years ago) link
lol, sharemyplaylists ppl apparently do not like long grab-bag playlists; so far all 3 of mine have garnered 1 star ratings
― PAJAMARALLS? PAJAMALWAYS! (DJP), Wednesday, 27 July 2011 19:49 (twelve years ago) link
i got a 5 star on my new jack swing one. it was probably you.
― Cindy Mancini can ride my lawnmower anytime (thebingo), Wednesday, 27 July 2011 19:51 (twelve years ago) link
ha it wasn't! clearly the way to get a good rating is to get to the point rather than be a meandering hodge podge
― PAJAMARALLS? PAJAMALWAYS! (DJP), Wednesday, 27 July 2011 19:52 (twelve years ago) link
im loving your playlists.
― Cindy Mancini can ride my lawnmower anytime (thebingo), Wednesday, 27 July 2011 20:11 (twelve years ago) link

So, when you have a song in a playlist that Spotify does not have, those who don't have it won't see it at all -- no "light gray" listing. That kinda sucks.
― A Chuck Person's Guide to Mark Aguirre (Andy K), Wednesday, 27 July 2011 20:42 (twelve years ago) link
Obviously it makes sense for Spotify to do that.
― A Chuck Person's Guide to Mark Aguirre (Andy K), Wednesday, 27 July 2011 20:45 (twelve years ago) link
can p much delete itunes and all of my mp3s?
No because then they won't show up on your Spotify!
― timellison, Wednesday, 27 July 2011 21:18 (twelve years ago) link
ha yeah i got excited for a minute there

OK. If you want to see playlist tracks you cannot play, go into preferences and un-check "Hide unplayable tracks."
― A Chuck Person's Guide to Mark Aguirre (Andy K), Thursday, 28 July 2011 00:15 (twelve years ago) link
sorry if dumb question, but is there a way to view and sort the tracks in your library by bitrate, file size, play count, and other data fields that don't show up by default?
