www.spotify.com dont know if anyone has heard of the program

A decent website for people who want to listen to music very easy, make playlists and etc

Has done me a few favours for listening to bands who are playing at leeds/reading who i havent heard much of.

It is legal and plus it has all radiohead, kings of leon, arctic monkeys and probably most of the confirmed bands albums on

Anyone know what bitrate it streams at?

I have it but generally just torrent stuff I'm interested in.

[richman12345]

no idea mate, theres never really a pause when in a playlist or anything like that

and doesnt buffer or anything

[RedFerret]

I've had it for a while and I personally think it's genius!

It's really quick on finding newer albums also, the new Fightstar album for example, is on there, which is what i've been listening to all evening (Crackin' album btw =P)... Aswell, while i'm typing this as i've had a brainwave is the new Silversun Pickups album!!

RESULT!

brilliant site especially leading up to a festival!

[Dropkick Murphy]

Just discovered this recently, its awesome. Just a shame there a no Fat Wreck Chords albums on there =(

Er, am I being obtuse?

What does the website offer?

Somewhere to listen to tunes online?

I just thought I would ask, I don't like signing up to stuff if I don't know what it is.

Generally a fantastic invention, there's a pretty good selection of stuff on there, from all of the mainstream to some fairly obscure stuff. Though, personally, I'd like to 'get rid of' Roberta, it's still well worth having-great for checking out bands for the festival you're not familiar with.

[Calm Like A Bomb]

It's fantastic isn't it. A great way to check out bands you haven't tried before, or to sample albums before you buy them. It's really efficiently updated too it seems - Swoon by Silversun Pickups was on there on its day of release, for example.

Another nice feature is that you can share playlists and add to them. So I can create a playlist, send the link round my friends and they can listen to and add to it. In fact someone on here already made a Reading playlist, but as I'm not at home I don't have the link to hand...

Thanks all.

It sounds like a nifty bit of kit, might just have to download me some spotify

[Ignus Reef]

I think the best thing about it (apart from being able to sample new bands) is that they also have a load of b-sides on there. Great way to hear these without having to buy singles which I feel is kind of pointless if you have the album.

IT'S AWESOME!

such a good program, i'll never download another mp3 or anything again, there is no need,

I still buy CDs but my downloading days are over thanks to spotify

[bloodflowers]

Just found out you can use it with lastfm. I'm loving this programme more and more every day.
