Spotify just started authing accounts in US (no Canada yet, sry). It's a free music subscription service like Pandora only instead of picking a track and creating a "station" based on that track's "etymology," you can actually just listen for free to whatever you want that happens to be in the cloud on-demand.

It's got a social aspect to it so your friends who are on spotify can recommend tracks or you can peruse their lists and favourites.

It's got a local library management function that seems okay...sort of a hybrid between iTunes and WMP, it can import your iTunes playlists and whatnot but I haven't really messed with it.

Recommendation feature still in dev, it seems. I don't care so much for the "what's new," may it gets smarter the more music I listen to?

The free version (with the invite) requires you to listen to the occasional 30 sec ad...but it's cloud-storage on-demand music...for FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Just thought I should let you know that I've drunkenly fucked up my spotify good and proper in the first 5 minutes of getting it running.

A small selection of my music is now doubled and I can't find the rest of it.

But it's also the first program I've successfully run on WINE so...

-shitfuckdamn-

Spotify does not meet my demands.

The free part is for desktop streaming only.
       1) Site blocked at work.
       2) I don't listen to my computer at home.

Mobile access is $10/Month.   :argh!:


Not worth my time.

It also doesn't really give you the HD bitrate when you buy the "high quality" subscription (http://www.spotifyclassical.com/2011/07/spotify-bitrategate-story-so-far.html) and about 1/4th of the time it doesn't have the song I'm looking for.
