I've been using it for a while (with my VPN) it's great. I thoroughly recommend it.

The future of the music industry without a doubt.

Shit, how good is Spotify.

My new goto source for music.

Spotify Premium is cheaper than the UK too.

What's the bit rate of the songs in the "economy" version?

160kb/s

Spotify was completely free when it started in the UK. I'll bet you amazulu it will cost twice as much this time next year. Do you not understand how things work

...the modern day equivalent of blowing up Arch Duke Franz Ferdinand in Sarejevo

Re: Spotify now in Australia
 

Er, it's free in both countries :confused:

Re: Spotify now in Australia
 

Its free for basc access, but if you want premium you have to pay now. Basic access used to be good. You would get about one ad every 5 tunes. Now the adverts on free are relentless and you only get five plays of a tune before being locked out of it. you have to pay for the premium now if you want a decent service. I've stopped using it and switched to other sites....

That's what I love about the internet, it's a kind of pure market which you don't get in business and finance today. Actual capitalism instead of the crony capitalist/facist shit we have today.

edited to add: I'd consider paying for Spotify.

Re: Spotify now in Australia
 

So still free then :rolleyes: How much do you want to pay? Spotify/musicians/music companies have got to make a crust dude. People have been complaining for ages that the cost of music is too high - here's one of the solutions to that issue.

BTW, you're new on here but when replying to someone you need to use the quote system - following conversations is difficult without it. There's a sticky at the top of this page about this.

Re: Spotify now in Australia
 

Me too. $7-12/month to have access to basically all the music that you would ever want to listen to. Bargain.

Re: Spotify now in Australia
 

Which other sites.... I was using Music Unlimited the embedded PS3 player, which was fairly good. Not as good as this though.


Looks like the Cloud is going to start making real inroads now.

BTW does anyone know if there is a planned or even current Movie/TV service set up or being set up ? Now that would end piracy. 12 bucks for my Music and say 40 to 50 bucks for all of my video media and I'd never download again.

Hi Amazulu thanks for the advice. Ok I'm being disingenuous, but they pissed me off royally when they cut it back to 10 hours a month for free and upped the adverts. Perhaps they havent done that in OZ yet, but its coming. It used to be great as you pretty much got Premium for free. Other sites you can try although more cloud based are Twewoo, Grooveshark and jamendo worth a go for alternative stuff...
