Spotify - One of the Latest Greatest Pieces of Software Around

Heard of Spotify? Well you probably have by now through word of mouth or on some forum somewhere.

For those of you not yet in the know... It is a downloadable program for your PC or even mobile whereby you can stream your favourite music for no money what-so-ever, it is even legal!

Well whats the catch i hear? You cannot keep the music and it has advertisements at certain intervals.

They have to make there money somehow and it can be a little annoying when you are in the flow then an advert kicks in.

This doesn't take away from the fact that this was a really good idea. You can more of less search for any artist or album of your choice and play immediately without downloading times, you can store your favorites with your account as you have a login and password to access your list.

This can be ideal for parties instead of swapping CD's every half an hour and also save you a lot of money on purchasing music if you tend to play it whilst in the house anyway.

Another feature which I like is the option to search within a certain decade to get all the tracks from that decade. i.e 80's would be bands like Bon Jovi and Bryan Adams etc.

I was surprised by the depth of search for each artist, as most of there albums are available to listen too. This is also good if you do intend to buy the album as you can listen to it before hand or just simply listen to in the house and keep your money.

They appear to be updating it all the time with different features such as new artists and recommended music based on your general genres you tend to listen to.

One slightly annoying this is that during an advert you cannot mute or turn the sound down too much as the advert stops until the sound is resumed therefore kind of making you listen to the advert, let's hope TV channels do not do this in future!

So link it up to some speakers and start playing your music with Spotify.
