Spotify…

Well what is it?

I can only describe it as the best music service I had had the pleasure of using so far.

I’m using an invite so at present it’s free for me, so I could also describe it as iTunes without the need for a credit or debit card.

It is a streaming service so you’ll need to have a Internet connection to use it.
There is a option to purchase tracks from the various retailers from within Sportify but as of yet I haven’t tried this so have no idea of the cost or DRM etc.
The invite allows you to get the advertised based service, these ad’s are so un-intrusive I have yet to actually see one.

The ad free service is £9.99 a month.

The UI is not unlike iTunes with playlists on the left and a large pane on the right displaying the contents.

You enter your search into the top left search bar and Sportify goes away and finds all it can related to your chosen search.

Within the pane on the right hand side is displayed your results, with Track, Artist, Time and Album categories at the top.

You can create a playlist on the left and drag individual tracks into it or name the playlist with the artist and album then select the album on the right and drag the entire album into your playlist.

If you’d like an invite so that you can use Spotify for free,just leave a comment or mail me and I’ll sort you one out.

Please just check first to make sure you can use it in whatever country you are in.
