Just thought I'd mention.

Think last.fm but you can choose whatever song you want to play - from what album and navigate to any bit of the song.

hmm its not available in Canada yet

fuck this shit

Free: This product is not available in your country yet.

i'm getting so sick and tired of reading that

one day, i will make the best, most fuckingest awesomest coolest website ever in the history of the web, and i will make it unavailable for americans and brits :fee:

Yes, it is very annoying. I had no idea there was country restrictions.

Maybe you could bypass it with this http://filesharefreak.com/2008/11/28/join-...able-locations/

Well it kind-of needs an invitation to join so, umm, where's our invitations?

I didn't need an invitation. Just get on their website and download the app and away you go.

It's great by the way, but after a few searches, I've noticed their content is limited to relatively mainstream stuff. It's excellent for parties, when you wanna research an artist, song etc. I'm hoping it'll work on my iPhone 3GS when it arrives on Friday.

Cool shit, I'm gonna check it out when I get back from my walk to the music store (~20 blocks away)

This is quite good. Is there no way to upload music to it? I'm sure it will get better as it becomes more popular.

also the search is super fast and so is the streaming! I like.

Does anyone know a good proxy service?

Some guy just started talking about free shit and nokia phones and shit! freaked me out!!! Then he shut up and the music came back on!

Yeah the adverts are a drawback, but they're not so intrusive that it's a problem. If the content expands it'll be amazing - like having every album ever in your pocket at all times.

And yeah, the tech side of things is fantastic - really quick to search, immediate stream straight after clicking, and even my mum could use the piece of software. I'll be interested to see how their servers cope once it gets more popular.

I've had this a good 8 months or so now, I never listen to it except when I'm at a house party though. They had LOTS more music before, but they removed more or less half of it I think.

edit: it's made by Swedes :angry:

it's actually backed by emi, universal, sony music etc. http://www.spotify.com/en/work-with-us/labels-and-artists
