Spotify does not make you go through FB BS. So go Spotify!

TT only did that as a way to stem the onslaught. they had a limited amount of money to pay royalties with, so once they gt popular they needed to control how many people got in. FB provided an easy way to do that. supposedly TT has recently secured a bunch of venture financing, so they'll be opening up the floodgates soon.

you do realize you can un-friend people you aren't interested in, right? it sorta mimics real life that way ;D

Spotify Launching in the US Tomorrow (July 14) (http://www.engadget.com/2011/07/13/spotify-launching-in-the-us-tomorrow/)
-
Anyone get an invite yet? I signed up on the website a few weeks ago but nothing yet. Am curious to see how the "upload your own music" function works...does it attempt to "match"?
-
i didn't get an invite yet, but i had created an account with a fake UK address when the service first launched (and used a UK proxy to access it). I just changed my address to my real US address and can now access my account :)
if you don't want to wait, you can opt to pay $4.99/month for unlimited streaming for $9.99/month for their premium service which also has a mobile app....no invite code needed for those services
-
Got my invite, but I need to download a "Spotify client" to use it, so no go at work, oh well. Why does it need a local application?
-
here is a cool playlist i found on Wired.com - Losing My Edge - every band mentioned in the song...in the order they were mentioned heh

Hey guys, not tryin' to, y'know, brag or anything, but I just got this in via email:
Hello
Would you like some great news? We thought so.
Trent Reznor has sent you an invite to join Spotify for free!
You can thank them later, but first let's get you started with Spotify.
Thanks Trent. We're kinda on a first name basis, y'know. No biggie.
-
Wouldja look at that!? Ol' Trent sent me one, too!
-
humph. that trent is SOOOOO dead to me.

Motorola had some too
What I find interesting is that 8tracks.com has been offering legal streaming playlists for awhile now, which has gotten a ho-hum response, spotify shows up and people are clammering to get on.
Bitter why yes I am...
-
Trent has more.

Thanks for the link, and of course a special thanks to Mr. Trent Reznor

Well, this is pretty fuckin' awesome.

Trent invited me as well, let's see...

Erik Spoelstra, coach of the Miami Heat, sent me a friend request on Facebook.
I'll bet Erik Spoelstra, coach of the Miami heat, could beat up Trent Reznor.

I hadn't heard of 8tracks.com. I like that you can just go to the site and stream audio without any downloads, sign-ups, etc.

Has anyone else played with the Iphone app? It is nice except for the fact that it caches seemingly everything it streams and there appears to be no way to clear its cache other than uninstalling and reinstalling.
-
I use the android app a lot, it's not that great but generally gets the job done.

See, this is what pisses me off about Spotify. Great playlist. Great music. But how the fuck does it have the live B&S Sinister show but not have Seeing Other People? Why does Spotify always have those certain songs missing? FUCK!

i just dont think many people want to "own" an mp3 album anymore. IMO they are missing the point of Spotify or similar services, which is easy access to their music.

oo fancy pictogram, never saw that. so say black keys strategy pays off to the tune of 25k more people purchasing the album (probably a stretch). using itunes as the baseline for selling albums, they profit ~$25k more for their album, record company profits ~$125k.
not an incredibly amount of money, certainly not for the black keys, and certainly not worth the potential of bad PR. imagine it's a trend we'll see in the industry - bands refusing to stream until profits are reasonable for everyone.
big money is made on the road anyways, right?

STHoldings labels to leave Spotify (http://thewire.co.uk/articles/7994/)
Tracks from over 200 record labels will be removed from Spotify, Napster, Simfy, and Rdio. Labels distributed by STHoldings include Hessle Audio, Skull Disco and Mordant Music. Out of 238 labels distributed by STHoldings (which specialises in techno, grime, dubstep, and bass music), only four said they did not want their content removed from the streaming services.
STHoldings said in a statement: "As a distributor we have to do what is best for our labels. The majority of which do not want their music on such services because of the poor revenues and the detrimental affect on sales. Add to that the feeling that their music loses its specialness by its exploitation as a low value/free commodity. Quoting one of our labels "Let?s keep the music special, fuck Spotify.""
STHoldings said decision was prompted by a study conducted by NPD Group and NARM (reported by Digital Music News here (http://www.digitalmusicnews.com/permalink/2011/111115cannibal#VIZ3-3IxRZUcRMwuQcs_9g)) which claimed that Spotify and similar streaming services were detrimental to music sales.
Update: MusicAlly reports a response from Spotify, quoting a spokesperson as saying: ?Along with NARM, we?re confused by the way this research has been interpreted, since Spotify was not referenced anywhere in the research questionnaire and had only been live in the US for a matter of days when the study was carried out. The deck also makes absolutely no reference to Spotify and certainly does not draw any conclusions about Spotify, such as those made in the article.?
EDIT: Hyperdub is not implicated in the decision made by STHoldings. While Hyperdub is listed as being distributed by STHoldings, the company does not manage digital distribution for the label, Cargo handles the main body of digital and physical distribution for Hyperdub.

do you really think today's consumers of music care about graphs or data or information or anybody else but themselves? they want shit for free (or basically free) or they will steal it. the end. they can't even stop bitching about fees on tickets. things cost money in this world. fucking deal with it or go live in a log cabin you build yourself and grow your own fucking food.

I love that logic - "Somebody isn't giving me their stuff for free, so I am 'forced' to steal it."

No, you posted about Peter Gabriel. And The Director talked to me about Peter Gabriel when he was in town. And I'm getting Google recommendations about Peter Gabriel. And, so I ask again, what year is this?
This feels so unnatural, Peter Gabriel too.
EDIT: I have been informed via text, that there is an outside chance that the recent Phil Collins announcements have stolen Peter Gabriel's only possible chance at being in the news, and this is his reaction.
