Spotify – So Hot Right Now

spotify_logo

Spotify haven’t been around for all that long but they’ve managed to create quite the stir concerning themselves. What you do with Spotify is simply to install the program and then you’ll have access to millions of songs – for free (with short ads) or for a small monthly fee (no ads). Waiting for the songs to download or buffer won’t be necessary as they will be able to be played instantly. The program is still at a BETA level as well as only available in Europe but this seems to change any day now. And it’s all very legal of course.

Everyone from tech geeks to music lovers all over the world has praised Spotify for their great little product. It’s with this in mind that I’m sorry to say that someone has hacked the program making it possible to save and download the music you’re listening to via Spotify. Hopefully people will see the benefit of not having to store a massive amount of files on their computers and keep on using this great service the legal way. It’s also quite sad to see a solution that everyone – the artists, the record companies and we as listeners/users – can benefit from become hacked and destroyed.

On a happier note can we end with saying that it seems as if you soon will be able to use Spotify via your iPhone, making it even less necessary to download music illegally. Just hope, hope that all US residents will be able to use Spotify soon as well.

    I love Spotify and I use it every single day. Would be great if it was released for the iPhone. Have they said anything about when that’s supposed to happen?

    I love Spotify until they paused commercials when you muted or lowered the volume. That totally sucks, you have to suffer through the very loud, annoying ads now.

    Guess we all have to start paying. Oh wait, half my collection is gone since Spotify realized they were still streaming illegal content. Good job guys!

    definitely agree on the adverts and volume trick. It almost feels like a violation of privacy in a weird way. Plus ad frequency is noticeably increasing. Almost about time to dump the service.

    I find the volume trick annoying too, but if you mute it and the hit play it works, but theres a program to do it for you http://www.mutify.blogspot.com :D
