Anyone Use Spotify?

[NickJ]

I've been using the free version for over a year now so the music has been restricted to my laptop, but I've just signed up for a 7 day free trial on premium and I'm well impressed

Get exactly the same playlists now on my iPhone, and I've recently bought myself an iPhone docking hi-fi so I've got all the music going through that in my living room now

When the 7 day trial runs out it's £10 per month, I'm debating whether to carry it on or not

If I can find a decent way of connecting my iPhone to my car stereo, I will never have to piss about downloading music / making cds / using itunes again

Does anyone else buy the premium membership?

[Peter_D]

Just download music free from YouTube with a youtube to mp3 converter, thats what i do

Sorry if this is pointless but fuck paying for spotify when you can get any tune you want for free?

[Gary-VTR]

Been considering it since they put the 10hr cap on free accounts

You had any lag or streaming issues through your phone?
I usually get crap signal on my iPhone so am wondering how slow it'll be

[smiith]

just get an aux cable aswell to plug your phone into your car.. all cars have a hole for one to plug into..

[lighters]

I got the 7-day trial for when I was on holiday and had no internet access and the off-line play list was really handy. However once my 7-day free trial ran out I was bombarded with so many more adverts it was literally after every 2nd song. Spose it doesn't make a difference now that they have changed the way spotify works.

[MrChris]

My free is still 20 hours but they now banned it at my college and ive heard you can only listen to a song 5 times on the free version

Might do later on but for now i do what peter does and used video2mp3.net

[Dellboy_furio]

Yeah used the free version for just under a yeah and was impressed, but know the capped the limit on how much i can listen to. But as said allow paying for it, would be good in the car mind you...

It's the convenience, type in a song name and it's instantly playable on my laptop or phone, don't need to mess around with converting to mp3 then making mp3 discs for my car which I get sick of doing

No lag as of yet, been playing for about 3 hours solid now, much better with no adverts as well

I've got an Astra (CD70 Navi system) which hasn't got an AUX input and I've read on the Astra forum it's a ballache to get one fitted, would go down that route otherwise

Was that on iphone? Did it use much battery?

Mate.. that's a convoluted way of doing it.

Torrent it.

[Peter_D]

I don't have a clue how torrents work and they scare me, i always think torrents are just full of viruses but i haven't got a clue about them

[Bound]

It's limewire and other P2P shit that's full of viruses normally.

Using trusted uploaders, or torrents with comments veryfying it's safe and shit will be fine, also want to avoid downloading brand new films, not that you said you download films anyway... but you will get caught downloading a brand new cam/telesync blockbuster. But anything older than 6 months you'll usually be fine.. Also use a program called peerblock... blocks the known copyright companies.

All you do is download utorrent which is a torrent client (or any other for that matter.. utorrent is just the least resource hungry), then navigate you're handsome self to piratebay.org, search what you want, click download torrent and bam - it opens in utorrent and it's all sexy.

This post will get deleted so i'll PM you if you're interested.

To be fair we could be talking about material that isn't copyrighted?

...we're not

:D.

[haz_pro]

Usenet > torrents :P

Aye, MIRC is apparently very good as well.

My mate reckons its easy to use..

It's not.

[Peter_D]

Cheers Bound for calling me handsome

Oh and thanks for the info aswell...i'll have a look at it at the weekend and you can guide me along and keep me safe x

[joelali]

There's one called Grooveshark which is pretty good also. No compatibility with iPhones though as far as I am aware.

[CEdwards]

It was better when it was free. I just use a Youtube converter.

I use this sometimes, its awesome and free.

There latest restriction of less hours and only 5 plays on one song has made me consider upgrading...i do hate the damn adverts too!

I used to change songs just before they swap to the next as you miss out on the ads but if you forget one time you get 3 or 4 adverts in one go :n:

The restrictions weren't a bad move in my opinion, made people like me seriously considering paid subscription

£10 a month for unlimited music access on computer / laptop / phone, not a bad deal I think

No i completely understand why they did it but still its a pain for a poor..ish student such as myself. It is a bargain though so i am very tempted to do it

[MunkyBoy]

I use spotify unlimited at home / work and also have it on my iPhone... Awesome, definitely would recommend someone to pay for it, just for the mobile version, so much cleaner copies than downloading from YouTube, and do much easier than tormenting / transferring via iTunes...

Awesome app.
