    Isn't it incredibly annoying not to be able to control it fully though?

    I recall it being full of BS in that you can't play specific tracks on demand & can only skip tracks X times etc...

    Also - did you use a VPN or how did you get around the restrictions?

    If you're referring to Ly, he lives in Sweden now. I'm sure Spotify works just fine there.

    I'm sorry

    It's basically legitimised my *cough* totally legal *cough* music library (I think only about 30-40% of the music on my hard-drive was purchased and the rest of it has been hoarded since my teenage years). I think it's a fantastic way to listen to music, find new artists and really just have an entire library of music at your disposal. Especially for someone who likes music but isn't necessarily the kind of person to ever buy music (read: me). And for 90kr a month it's a steal.

    Not sure if this is addressed to me but if it is, you can fully control Spotify (in the sense that you can listen to the same track a billion times, skip as many tracks as you want, save albums as playlists, create your own playlists, star music you like, save music for offline use if you have a premium subscription, etc).

    Without a paid subscription you can basically only play music on your PC and you have advertisements between every other song, so it's kind of like a radio. I can't stand ads

    Spotify also allows you to make use of apps (what I've recently started messing with) with a wide range of features ranging from finding and displaying the lyrics for tracks you're listening to as well as integration with sites like last.fm.

    And as for VPN, as czc mentioned, I'm in Sweden and Spotify is Swedish, ergo, no restrictions

    Only catch is that you can't "download" music as such (like an MP3 or whatever). But you can play your library from your phone with the Spotify app if you have a Premium subscription, so that works equally well and, again, you can download music for offline use onto your phone, just not as an "MP3" as such.

    It's czc's fault. I was just an innocent bystander.

    You're welcome though.

    Sowy

    It's quite scary that it could import all the times I had listened to songs before installing the scrobbler.

    I've been using it for years. The weird part of using it for so long is that I tend to go through phases of listening to a band a lot; right now it's Coheed and Cambria. These phases are very clear on your last.fm page, for instance, Cloud Cult, Ashes Divide and My Morning Jacket are all on my front page!
