The Blue Board

It's the tits. I've had it for awhile now. Premium is very worth it if you have a smartphone. Being able to quickly customize a playlist for anything and everything and go is sweet. They get albums on their quickly too. Except for the few bands I feel deserve my money via album purchases, I rarely buy them anymore and just wait for it to come out on Spotify.

I'll be interested to see what happens competitively when other services pop up.

I use the free version what's the difference between unlimited and premium? I've been thinking of upgrading for some time

I've got premium, it's great. I have the house set up with Sonos, it's real simple to set up controllers on our ipads, my s3 and her iphone. Works great when we have people over and let them control what they want to listen to. It's been few and far between what artists aren't on it. Over the past year or so it seems a lot of bands are releasing their albums to spotify around the same time it shows up on Spotify.

I use it all day at work, and I think I used it for about 20 hours this past weekend working around the house.

Sonos + Spotify

I highly recommend both.

Yea. Metallica just got added. Still waiting on Tool, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, the Beatles and AC/DC. They are a few catalogs away from being a service that would be hard to live without.

Use the free version at work.

at the time - i was attempting to monthly draft a credit card. they could not do this because their billing is done internationally. i found this out during the 3-7 day customer service turnaround time by doing some research on my own. so i found a work around, by using PayPal - worked like a charm and haven't looked at making a change. one of their representatives reached me a week later via email and just sent me troubleshooting instructions. i informed them that i'd already done what they advised and never heard from them again.

Do you have to have facebook?

Spotify's main thing is being able to stream music of your choice. You can make playlists, listen to whole albums, whatever. They have a radio feature as well.

I am under the impression---I havent used it in forever---that Pandora only allows you to listen to radio of their choosing, albeit in a more direct manner by artist, genre, song etc.

Because you get to choose your music, you dont have songs snuck into the play period like on Pandora. I do remember that. I'd be listening to like classic rock radio and some pop song would come on.

I'm not sure, but I know you can connect them and it's actually kind of a mixed bag for me. People can see what you are listening to untless you turn that off, but you can go check out other people's playlists if they let you. It's a easy way to grab a mix and be inspired by what music someone else is feeling at that time.

+ NO COMMERCIALS with Premium.

I don't think so. I believe that's just a "quick login" option.
