Spotify, the best way to listen to music

Categories: Web

When I was in Australia, I did not have the chance to discover Spotify. This new music streaming website was released almost one year ago in a few countries (sorry Aussie mates, I think the free version isn’t available yet downunder). Since I’m back I must confess that I caught up this small mistake !

I must say that Spotify is GREAT ! You can listen to any songs or any album (I found nearly everything I wanted and even much more I wanted !). It works very easily, you just need to download a software which is very near from iTunes and create a Spotify account here. Then, you’ll be able to listen to your favorite songs from anywhere with an Internet connection and if you upgrade for the premium account (10 euros a month), you’ll reach them from anywhere with the offline mode. It’s a cool way to discover new songs and share with your friends your playlists.

It’s interesting to think about this way of listenning to music. You don’t own your file anymore, you just take them for a short time. It is fully compatible with Last.fm. I think Spotify is probably the first good example of a new system. I mean softwares, OS or movies will probably work the same way in a very short time.

So do not hesitate to share your Spotify playlists, here are Apple Ads’ one, Mathieu‘s one and mine (it’s just the beginning !).

    Links are fixed now ;D

    I don't have the premium account yet, I am just waiting for a reliable internet connection at home and my next salary…

    et d'avoir un nouveau téléphone ? Tu aurais pu en parler plus précisément, mine de rien si quelque chose doit tuer l'ipod, c'est bien cette fonctionnalité…

    Oui en effet, l'iTunes store et l'iPod risquent d'en prendre un coup, je l'évoquais déjà dans mon post précédent « Apple a changé, n'est-ce pas ? ».

    C'est con, j'ai telecharge l'application spotify sur mon nouveau tel mais impossible d'y acceder d'australie, je confirme.
    Brieuc, ya moyen que tu m'envoie une invit'? :)
    Au fait, j'ai achete le HTC Hero sur Android, une perle!

    Le problème c'est que l'accès gratuit est indisponible en Australie (même aux US avec ou sans invit' !).
    Cpt, tu px opter pr l'option payante, dans ce cas, plus besoin d'acheter n'importe quel album !
    Bon achat le HTC Hero ! Je suis passé à l'iPhone, je suis pas mécontent non plus ! ;D
