I pay for the premium account and so can use the app on my iPhone as well as the computer software. Pretty amazing, I just search for an album, I can either stream it or over wifi I can choose it to be made offline so it Is essentially downloaded to my phone.

You have to pay for the app, which then gives you the right and privilege to steal music - all with a clear conscious ;)

From what a long time recording artist musician producer bar owner guy posted on his Facebook a few months back Spotify pays the songwriter the least amount of money of them all. ITunes paid the most and it was a for shot amount but Spotify was like .000000000001
Sounds fucking great to me.

Re: Spotify US Launch

I would say. I pay 10 quid a month for my premium account which means I can use the iphone app, plus I don't get any adverts when I listen (both on phone and computer). It really is quite an amazing thing - I use it constantly. I just hope that they haven't had to take loads of stuff off so they could release it in America. For me, it's got basically everything I want.

Re: Spotify US Launch

I think the US Spotify is in beta phase, meaning invite only for now. I don't know if it will work UK to US but I have about 39 invites if someone wants to try it.

Is anyone else having the issue of it saying it will continue playing after a commercial, but a commercial never plays. It's just silence?

Why? Everything ever released and then some was already available on the internet before Spotify, for free. There are not enough hours in the day to increase my new music intake ten fold again.

You seriously can't find a way to listen to Beatles and Zappa without Spotify? They are like two of the most popular artists of all time.
For the uneducated, how is this any different/better then Pandora or other steaming services?

I am mostly listening to new and popular stuff. Stuff that I normally would never download or buy. But now i have a reference point when people talk about it. Most of it sucks.
I also just listened to the cast recording of The Book of Mormon, which was great.

You can now add Spotify inside your iOS app.
This is a way to promote their premium accounts, by having developers make custom apps that use spotify code. Could be interesting.
