What’s this then? A post which is not about photography or games? What kind of blasphemy is this!?
I’ve been having a blast using Spotify for the past week. I don’t think I’ve used Winamp more than a couple of times since I installed Spotify, which really is odd, seeing as how I have been using Winamp on a daily basis for years.
For those who do not know what Spotify is, spotify can crudely be described as the free version of iTunes, without the downloads.
Basically, spotify gives you instant access to a massive amount of music, absolutely for free, provided that you occasionally listen to an ad, unless you buy a premium account or a daypass. Like I said, I’ve been using it for about a week, and in that time, I have only come across 3 ads, not including the occasional banner ad which seems to pop up whenever you view the listing of an entire album or an artist’s profile. (It’s still in “closed” beta though, so that might change)
Oh yeah, did I mention they have full albums up there? No? Well they do!
There is also a radio feature which I have grown pretty fond of, especially with all the good old classics which can be found there. (no, not 70′s rock, but 30, 40 and 50′s jazz music!)
Head over to spotify.com and sign up for a beta invite, or do like I did, grab a key of off a youtube comment. ;)
