2011 Spotify Playlist

[parsonjack]

Yeah it's a pain - I think the premium free trial is still working but I can only see this backfiring on spotify. After you've listened to your quota people'll get their music fix elsewhere and not come back.

how does grooveshark compare?

[olliet101]

Grooveshark has a much wider database of music compared to Spotify I find, plus the fact it's an internet page is a lot better. However, it's nowhere near as well-organised as Spotify but it still houses most of the other benefits. No adverts either!

[cooio]

grooveshark has more music, i think anyway, like the bands that wont let spotify have them. And it also has LOADS of remixes if you like that kind of thing.

I'd say its not as nice to use but thats purely because its done in a browser not an application. You can log in and have all your playlists though. oh and no audio adverts

[darkfish]

Would it be worth reinstating the 3 tracks for each artist rule from last year? Otherwise it all gets a bit much

[LondonTom]

Possibly, it is a bit vast. I picked 5 per artist purely as the "Top Hits" listed by spotify, but trying to ignore where artists have 3 versions of the same song. The list would be shorter with 3 per band but if you're listening on random it should work out as the same chance of getting something from each act? Anyone else have an opinion on 3 v 5?

[p.pete]

5 allows a bit more flexibility in what songs to put, but 3 is plenty and keeps it neat

[Wirephil]

We7 all the way for me, plus you get advert free days every so often which are great for all those BBQs we will be having when the summer kicks in

[cooio]

Still working on this - I've gotten down as far as the acoustic stage. Lots to do!

Grooveshark >> Spotify

[windy_miller]

7 day premium account trial for those interested

[robith]

Why is it asking for my credit card details if its free?

Bummer about the change to the service

[windy_miller]

I don't have one of these new fangled "smart" phones, so I may upgrade to "Unlimited", which is only £5 a month.

I'll be constantly updating this on a one-song-per-act basis, with a song taken from either A) The newest record, or a song from an album that's recommended listening.

[spikytom]

Exactly what I'm looking for... thanks!

I've temporarily (hopefully) removed the collaborative option on the playlist:

Roughly 400 songs had been removed from it, so I'm trying to restore it, luckily I'd taken a copy of the original so hopefully it won't take too long to figure out what's missing. I urge anyone who wants to edit the playlist, or who finds acts like Asian Dub Foundation, Crystal Fighters or Don McLean (just some of the artists wiped) not to their taste to make their own copy and edit appropriately.

If anyone spots any ommisions (or has suggestions for better songs than selected) please either message here or PM me, cheers!

Cheers for all the hard work Pete. I'm trying to listen to as much as possible before the service is curtailed, although I keep losing my place in the playlist as you add songs back to it!

I can only hope that whoever are removing the songs are mistakenly thinking that they're only editing what appears on their computer. I'd hate to think that someone would deliberately ruin your palylist.

[musky]

Cheers, I'm done now - sorry for the interupted listening

Think I'll leave it uncollaborative for the moment, though I fully welcome suggestions and where I've got things wrong.

Re spotify service, my partner suggested that people could maybe create new accounts whenever they'd reached the 6 month point where they start imposing restrictions?
