No, seriously, I use iTunes almost exclusively, but that is as far as it goes. I am a little hesitant with technology and certainly have no inclanation to check-out Spotify. The same applies to social media, which I detest.

You can save playlists/ albums to play offline (with premium) - just make sure you go to settings -playback- choose offline and your data is safe unless of course you do have unlimited the who gives a S%#$ just let er Rip !!
No Zeppelin, AC/DC or Jagger? Check again.
Yes only with premium which will be 10 bucks cdn a month - good price for the service
The reason I signed up for a Premium account was being fed up with having to download everything. No I check out a release on Spotify and buy the vinyl if I like what I hear.

My son got me set up on this thing for a 3 month trial pro version - I'm sure some of you are using it already but it's pretty damn impressive how much music is at your fingertips - anyone have any reviews good or bad?

I had a free account back in 2009, but haven't used it for years.
I didn't pay anything for the access and even with the free account I could access a huge amount of music. The only annoying aspect was the adverts, which I imagine can be avoided if you're a paying customer.

Welcome to the 21st century. It beats the hell out of FM radio. Access to huge libraries of music and you can import your personal music collection... But....
But there are bugs, people have lost playlists they spent hours working on, you can only sync to three devices and if you try to break the rules by accident or purposefully they penalize you with deletions, and you don't really own anything and can't export playlists to friends. Very friendly with the import functions, not so friendly with the export stuff.
It's addictive and designed to keep you hooked and signed up forever. If you just use it to stream new music you never want to own it's great, integrating with the music you own and playlists you create, not so great.
Enjoy it umakmehrd but beware of the addiction and aware of the playlist ownership issues.

Haha knew a jab like that was coming... I did try the free version a long time ago also some others like slacker radio but just deleted them - but I must say being able to make up playlists etc and listen to them offline in the car/gym etc its pretty frickin awesome and yes your right addicting... Thank you for the playlist issue's I will keep an eye on that.
Cheers,
Cheers,

I have the paid version, and it's awesome! Tons of music, simple to navigate. Having had albums, cassettes, CDs, and digital files, one of the things I love (as an example) is to pull up a tune from the triple LP Yessongs -- that I would never buy again, and there it is.

Deletions? You sure that's not the artists judt taking off albums and songs? That happens, for instance with the Kinks...

Ha, about a month ago I heard the name "Spotify" for the very first time. Now it might be the third or the fourth time I come across it. I have never seen it, of course I have never used it. Am I being an internet retard? Have I finally done it? :-)

I had the Premium version for some months. It is good. I usually play something on spotify when I am at bed with my smartphone.
Have a nice day.

Pandora is interesting to a point. While it's a genre or artist tailored radio show, you don't necessarily hear what you want.

Have no idea about Spotify. Tried Pandora and it didn't do much for me. Main listening these days is satellite radio jacked into an old Magnavox console hi-fi. Tons of music of many genres, highly recommend it if you don't have it, but I know satellite radio isn't found everywhere. It costs about $15 or so per month.
Other listening is rediscovering my CD collection and playing albums all the way through. It's like finding a lost world of music. Listening is accompanied by a hit or two of Remy VSOP. There's something about good music and very good cognac that can't be beat.

I love Spotify for checking out music I know nothing about. New artists people recommend, etc. I can listen to entire albums and decide if I dig it enough to go buy it. Mostly, I still buy cds, occasionally download. But for me, Spotify is awesome that way. I love it. I just use the free version, but am always flirting with the idea of forking out the $120 or whatever it is to go premium.

As far as FREE versions, Pandora is much better than Spotify.
As far as PAY versions. I wouldn't know.
Which begs the questions : How many Pay Levels do each have and how much money for each?
