it's ****ing brilliant imho

it's a really simple app that is great to use, music choice is pretty comprehensive.I tried to use a couple of the others and they just wanted to take over my life and PC. Spotify just plays music that you ask it, which is what I wanted.

Bah. I just registered for the free account and got a spam from Nokia Music 30 seconds later. The *****! I unchecked all the usual boxes.

I'm still on the original spotify free (invite only now iirc) and have been using it like that for a long while. However, I've recently got an android handset (my old one wasn't supported) so will be going for an upgrade when I get around to it.

Registered when it first came out. Quite a good as a free music app. Wouldn't pay for it though!!

The ads don't bother me so much I'd pay for it tbh, but the mobile thing is quite useful. I'm looking at it from a £10/month for the rest of my life and I never have to buy a cd ever again - wherever I am I'll always have access to an enormously comprehensive collection of music.

Yep Spotify Premium for me. I can't remember the last time I listened to music on iTunes. Spotify is well worth the £9.99 a month

So basically for £10 a month, you can have unlimited access to music on all devices.

Is ALL music on spotify?

I've used the Premium service for about 12 months and it's ace! Converted a few friends over to it too once they see how good it is.

Not EVERYTHING is on there but most stuff is.

You can share it with someone too, so you both get the benefit from it, although you can't play downloaded music at the same time but it's never caused an issue so far.

I've got a Sonos system too which streams from Spotify and when we have friends over, they download the Sonos App and everyone can choose their own music and create a massive playlist for the night.

So good, I would recommend it to anyone. I think you can trial it for 30 days?
