Spotify - anyone heard of it?

I think Spotify on its higher quality settings sounds pretty good, no idea what he's talking about tbh.

And I'm one of those people that complains about the shitty cymbal sound in mp3's.

yeah like i said 1) he's still trying to sell a competing device & service and 2) dude's blasted his ears w/crazy horse for decades

Laptops are the worst computing in history.

domino was there as recently as this week in the us, as my billion ffs listens can testify

Whoops, must have been thinking of some other label. My bad.

solo john, paul, george, ringo all there too (last time i checked, paul was and george wasn't)

the worst quality in the history of broadcasting or any other form of distribution.

Has he just heard kids playing music through their phones on the bus and thinks that's what streaming is?

He's like the coffee shop that won't make my latte with skim milk because they think it is the worst quality in the history of milk or any other form of dairy.

Except they also won't believe you that not all milk is skim milk.

solo john, paul, george, ringo all there too (last time i checked, paul was and george wasn't)

xp or that they are the only one with the whole milk toblerone

I don't need my music to be devalued by the worst quality in the history of broadcasting or any other form of distribution.

This is how I feel about Beatles remasters too.

I had a bunch of Prince albums saved back when his catalog was online, now they are still on my list but when I click to open them they're empty :(

I wonder if there's a plan to add the Beatles anthologies to Spotify?

Look, the Beatles stuff is showing plays of <1000 right now. So stop reading this thread, go to Spotify, and let's get You Know My Name (Look Up the Number) to #1 asap.

Ha, believe it or not, that is exactly what I did just before clicking on this thread and reading your post.

Played that tune on Spotify, to clarify.

You Know My Name (Look Up the Number)?

See, I told you all Spotify's sorting methods were fucked up.

xp Yea I was kinda hoping I could hear "Not Guilty" or "Leave My Kitten Alone." Guess not.

Yup, I was hoping to hear the "Sugarplum Fairy" version of "A Day In Life."

the weirdo xmas fanclub collages woulda been cool today but they were never commercially released in any form so i wouldn't expect that out of nowhere.

It's insane they haven't released those.

counterpoint: streaming does suck actually ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The artist bio for the Beatles is pretty wonderful at the moment. I hope people are taking screen shots. Apparently Mark Ronson is a big fan of their chart-topping sin-gles. Tom Petty liked them too.

I'll never forget the time when Skrillex said, "The Beatles sin-gles, and this is irrefutably true, invented everything I take for granted."

Lol.

Kevin Howlett, I'm glad you were chosen to introduce the world to the Beat-les on this moment-ous occasion.

I think we can all agree with Kevin Howlett that Tom Petty summed the Beatles up best, "We grew up with the Beatles and grew up trusting them. They could have chosen to do anything, and they chose to do good, which is a great example for the rest of us." I'm going to spend Christmas eve thinking about those words, and I hope you will too.

marianas trench deep

B-b-but what did Bobby Gillespie say about them?

"The six new songs in the film and the number one 'Hello, Goodbye' completed a momen-tous year of recording. Three more tracks from 1967 remained unreleased until they were heard in the movie Yellow Submarine premiered in 1968. The film's imaginative animation evoked the 'psychedelic' spirit of Sgt. Pepper to reveal the triumph of Love over Evil."

It's like you're in an office thinking, "who should write about the Beatles to introduce them to the huge new Spotify audience on this momentous occasion when the biggest band in the history of rock and roll makes their catalog available for streaming?" Greil Marcus. Nah, he'd just go on about the Futurist Manifesto. Thomas Pynchon? Nah, he'd never write liner notes. Hey wait, what about Kevin Howlett!

Ha exactly. I was considering posting "Who wrote that? Mark Lewisohn? Richie Unterberger?"

"Perfect 10s

Did you know that 6 Beatles albums scored 10s at Pitchfork?

Now you can hear why on Spotify"

anyway, 1 YKMN play here, what a jam

so uh for christmas I bought a year's worth of spotify for my mother and (according to her, on the phone, this may well be inaccurate) it's telling her that it expires tomorrow, anyone experienced this?

I haven't heard any reports of that, but customer support can fix it, whatever the issue...

fair enough, will check if it ends up turning into a pumpkin tomorrow

I hear you couldn't find Spotify anywhere after Y2K hit.

I've listened to "You Know My Name" 3 times in the past few days but it wasn't enough to help it into the Top 10.

Here are the top 10 Beatles tracks on Spotify, according to global data:

1. "Come Together"
2. "Let It Be"
3. "Hey Jude"
4. "Love Me Do"
5. "Yesterday"
6. "Here Comes the Sun"
7. "Help!"
8. "All You Need Is Love"
9. "I Want to Hold Your Hand"
10. "Twist and Shout"

We blew it on You Know My Name. Moving on, I'm writing customer support to see if they can find a fourteen year old girl who might be able to write a better essay about the Beatles. I hear they can fix any issue...

xps glenn how long did it ~ take for songs to go live on spotify after publishing on onerpm?

any reason why come together would be #1? i would not have expected it to be in the top 10 nevermind winning. those other 9 are exactly what id expect in there but with strawberry fields instead of come together

Dunno why but I always felt "Come Together" had a life of its own, like I knew it long before I knew it was a Beatles song...

I generally end up submitting things to OneRPM on Sunday nights for Friday "release", and they tend to show up in Spotify's internal catalog by Wednesday. They officially say it takes a few weeks, though.

Cool! For some reason I'm p psyched to see my music on Spotify

There is a Come Together playlist that Spotify has as their first playlist under browsing to The Beatles, and the first song is... Come Together.

cracker dude is going off

lol was looking for add the queue function for like 5 mins before realizing it's now called Add to Up Next. People having a hard time with the word queue?

Well I was wondering why Spotify kept asking me "what?" in Spanish.

Have I ever told you about my buddy who refused to pronounce the word genre as anything but gen-AIR? Have you noticed that the 10th most-listened-to Beatles song is the song they did in Ferris Bueller?

I'm not sure why Come Together is the most listened to Beatles song, but I do remember around 5 years ago it was also the most listened to Beatles song on Last.Fm as well.
