Found any good tracks on Spotify? I'll start things off with: My newly found songs... "Dust Bowl Dance" (Mumford and Sons) 2009 One of those songs that is like a journey (cliche alert...)"Lightning Rod" (Guster) 2009 Not sure why I like this so much, just has a nice ambient atmosphere I think..."Under the Sheets" (Ellie Goulding) 2009 Mainly because someone at uni plays bass for her"Customer Satisfaction" (Kid Adrift) 2009 It's not to everyone's taste, but he's a friend of Guildford City! Same year and course as myself and 'sweeneyhammer' at uni"Skywards" (Marius) 2006 A few years old now, but one of the better bands emanating from the Faroe Islands"I'm a Realist" (The Cribs) 2008 Yorkshire band, got a few decent songs over the years"Tightrope" (Yeasayer) 2009 A bit unusual, but a singer with a bit of variety in his vocal style which makes a change. |

None of those links work unless you've already sold your soul to Spotify, which is just one of many reasons why last.fm >>>>> Spotify.  |

You PRA boys really have it in for me don't you!
The thread is titled 'Spotify tips' after all, so it's sort of implicit that it'll contain Spotify links... plus, what's wrong with it? It's free and the quality isn't too horrific, what more can you want?

OK, if you really need the answer... It isn't free - you either pay or sign-up via an invite. There are other services that are genuinely free. Just saying. You've posted links that the majority of people in the world cannot access, so you might not get a cracking response. Just saying. I guess The PRA does 'have it in' for everyone on here - it's our job, but I'd only expect a couple of people to get it, so carry on as you were.  |

Fair point. However, up until very recently a quick search would have provided you with a link to the sign up pages that bypasses the need for an invitation. They've closed this particular route off now so you've missed the boat I'm afraid.
Even if no one else can access this thread then I'm still happy talking to myself... my target audience argues less that way

Now, now boys, play nicely.
I do have spotify, signed up last year when it was still freely available. The only issue I have with it is that it takes up loads of your hard drive unless you configure it not to.
regan - I've listened to the first three tracks, and to be honest, they're not my cup of tea. Then again I'm old, even older than ISIHAC (board co-founder). BTW, the links didn't work for me, I had to search manually.

I declined to get on the boat, due to the major flaws in its design being likely to cause it to sink. The alternative options were far more attractive. Even if no one else can access this thread then I'm still happy talking to myself... my target audience argues less that way Ah, you'll be wanting a blog then, not a discussion board!  |

He's not really a horrid meany, Amber just a hyperintelligent megabeing. As such he just can't empathise with the 99.99% of the population who aren't as clever as he is. There's no malice in it, it just comes with the territory |

Perhaps you could make this a positive post by divulging what some of these genuinely free services are  Or does that fall outside the remit of the PRA? |

At risk of being a pedant, Spotify is actually automatically set to use 10% of your free disk space for its cache.
You are able to change it of course, and the higher the amount of space you give it, the quicker you'll be able to switch between tracks/skip forward etc. But if you just stream one followed by the other like myself, rarely skipping tracks, you'll find that something around 1GB is more than sufficient.

You're right, and it's something I've only just discovered. However 10% is a hell of a lot for me as I only have a 20GB Hard Drive. Up until now, I've just deleted the storage files on a weekly basis. |
