Spotify - anyone heard of it?

yeah, spotify crashes CONSTANTLY for me.

soundrop is great if a bit buggy. haven't used the public rooms at all but spend most days at work now in a room with 3 or 4 other friends.

Pardon the shameless self-promotion, but Spotify has my band from way back in the 90s:

Apparently there were several other subsequent bands that took the same name.

Right now I'm having too many crashes and it is often slow, so I am staying away from the crack that is Spotify.

Back to scrobbling from itunes, which means I can't hear any music I want to when I want to unless I grab it off Amazon. Which is an enormous globally significant tragedy in my coddled worldview.

Shit, maybe I'll cruise SoulSeek or even play an LP.

Previously mentioned streaming Spotify issues are solved, please let us know if you have problems/questions: http://t.co/3HOxGdGf

New version of Soundrop is out today. Just restart Spotify to make sure you get it. More info here:https://www.facebook.com/soundrop/posts/344109505627208

i am streaming this now - enjoy your 0.005 cents or whatever it is, don't spend it all in the one shop :)

ha, I have no idea who put this up on Spotify or who would actually get paid for plays. Pretty sure it wouldn't be me.

I'm also playing this btw

Hope you like it! I think my favorites are "Phenomathon" and "Tranquilizer".

what did u do in this band?

Played bass, wrote the music with the other guys.

cool! i like this. i get a little adam duritz thing from the singer? (that's a neutral statement btw)

Thanks! That's a fair comparison. The singer is my pal Ben Averch. He's got a more recent album of his called Fortune Cookie up on Spotify too.

Something's been screwed up with the latest upgrade, tracks just stop, can't get some tracks to open. Hope there's a quick fix.

same here. keep getting 'search failed', 'browsing failed' etc

haha now it's crashed and is skipping like a cd. welcome to the future

I'm trying to max out my offline files for an upcoming road trip. The max is supposed to be 3,333. I got to about 2800 and was told I hit my limit, but I can't figure out where the rest of the files are. I'm thinking I might need to reinstall on my ipod and try again.

Spotify's unwillingness to support Android 3 and 4 mobile apps is making me want to quit the service forever:

Android 4 dev kits have been available since October, no excuses.

Why is dubstep so popular? btw there's usually a thousand people in there at peak time

you have a lot of disk space on your phone!

I'm using a 64 GB ipod touch

I suspect that some of my personal mp3 files are being counted toward that total.

I got an iphone with less disk space since I have a big 80GB ipod but now I'm like "why would I carry both of these things around." not that big a deal but I wish I woulda gone for the bigger hard drive on my phone.

an older ipod btw, no internet. not a touch.

so i was just durdling around with this for the first time last night since i got a new laptop and don't want to copy my whole music drive onto it. is there any reason why it's not easily worth the $5/month? how thorough is the licensing coverage now?

also are the 320kbs offerings extensive enough yet to make premium worth it if i don't plan to use it w/ a mobile device?

I don't even know how to tell what's streaming at what rate

how thorough is the licensing coverage now?

depends on what you like. there is stuff appearing and disappearing every day .... some of my favorite record labels have pulled out (Sacred Bones, RVNG Intl, there's no B-Music or Finders Keepers) but I still find a ton to listen to and it's worth the 10 bucks

I take that back, Finders Keepers does have some stuff on there

anyway I find a lot to listen to especially dance music

there have been very few new albums to come out that weren't on spotify. tzadik is really the biggest loss imo. most stuff is on there tho.

also tons of jazz and classical that I wouldn't have otherwise chased after but am now very happy to have on hand

i subscribed just because of all the Blue Note

yeah if the classical is good & thorough then i'm even more tempted. i've never had the time or resources to get a reasonable collection of that together, even digitally

soundrop has a country room now

Shonze Famschen otm

haha

3 people like this idea including you

it's a shame there's no enthusiasm for it, but an ongoing ILM room would be pretty bitchin.

I would be all over it but my job blocks all of the Spotify apps (but not Spotify itself)

I'm enthusiastic for it!

of course mordy how could i not vote for the guys suggestion!

he got the country station he asked for

mordy start an ilm room. the person who starts it has control over what can be removed. you just need to make a playlist with minimum 3 songs, start room, then post url here and anyone can join and add/vote/listen

in the country room Taylor Swift and Miranda Lambert just played here is what's queued up now

mordy is that the stuff you like?

Sometimes, but I can't get my soundrop to work right now.

a few people have had that. there was problems with facebook logins, they also say to make sure you have the latest spotify update as they fixed some things this afternoon

more metal rooms are coming. I asked for doom and BM rooms a month ago and here's todays reply

Hi guys,

This will happen in the next few days. Thanks for your patience!

Best,
Johann

Other people asked for death/thrash or metalcore/deathcore rooms so hopefully the 2 i asked for do get made and not just that one.

it's a shame there's no enthusiasm for it, but an ongoing ILM room would be pretty bitchin.

― ryan,

Me too, but those who are into that kind of thing prefer outloud so wont use a soundrop room. Which is a pretty much anything goes generalist room. Though nobody uses outloud during the day.
Maybe ilxors on spotify prefer to listen to their own lists? or, as djp says, soundrop might not be allowed at their workplace.

ATTENTION NAKH
Classical Room is now there

African room pretty cool

when its not being trolled by dubstep kids adding skrillex or rock room kids adding bieber ,pokemon and other crap like emo.
One of the developers told me a few weeks ago, when he was clearing out mess left by the trolls in metal room , that the african room was bombarded by trolls posting racist stuff too. They all get banned though.
