Title: Spotify
Post by: michaeljl on November 15, 2012, 05:23:49 PM: I've had it for a while but just started really using it.

You can basically listen to anything for free via cloud with a couple commercials, and you can see what your friends are listening to and post on facebook and such.

Anyone else use/dig spotify?

What's it do besides get rid of adds and play from your phone when you're not online?

Pandora is limited to "radio" you make a station based on am artist and it plays few songs by that artist with lots of " similar" artists in between. Spotify has a radio service like that but it also allows you to stream any album song artist whatever in full as if you had bought the album on iTunes or something

I actually like the radio format of Pandora because I don't have to sit there and think of what I want to listen to, just what kind of thing I want to listen to. My stations are so customized it probably wouldn't make sense for me to switch to spotify for radio, but I'll check it out for if someone recommends an album (with no feat. on it, forget that junk).
