In the 24 hours since I've signed up, I've discovered a lot a of old Favourites whichi unfortunately only had on Tape, and its been a blast.

What I've found interesting and addictive about the site is the large collection of foreign language music, something which i love to explore. I currently have Playlists with Hindi, Swahili and Arabic music lined up for listening .

I'm seriously tempted to pay for the premium subscription, but am forcing myself to wait for a fe days to see how well it works. One of the major advantage of the Premium Sub (For Me at least) it that it works internationally for a unlimited period, which is a mojor boon, as i'm often outside the UK for months on end.

Now, if they get the iphone app right, its going to be killer combo.
Spotify have created a brilliant and elegant solution that should satisfy all parties (hopefully we'll see the music publishers die out and leave only the artists behind to gain the true fruits of their labours). I wonder how long it will be before movies and books go this route? Add supported and premium memberships for extra stuff.
