What really matters is the increased accessibility of people online, not just information online. – Aardvark

The number of people that is online can only move in one direction, _up_. The way people will use internet will differ every year.

Spotify: New and simple way to free music

without comments

I had the privelidge to be included in the Spotify early beta test phase (Thanks Filip) and i must say that Spotify is one of the gratest applications i have tested, ever!

Did I say it was swedish?

Spotify is entering the group of listen-to-streaming-free-music. There is a lot of competing solutions as last.fm, pandora, web-radio, podcasts and so on. Great services, but all with one problem: You cannot choose the song yourself.

Spotify is basically an iTunes ripoff but with a huge music-library that you can use directly. You can create playlists, search for new music, listen to webradio etc. Everything is fast and seamless. It’s almost like all the music is on your local computer.

There are 3 different ways to subscribe to spotify. Free, 1-day and premium. Free is free, but with commercial between the songs. You can pay for one day or monthly to skip the commercial.

I only have 1 minus point. The most of the music is old, and no new album that i have checked has been added. Maybe this is something that will be changed now when the application is released as a public beta.

Give it a try at: www.spotify.com
