I can't recall using one, and the FAQ page says:
"...it requires that you receive an invite to register unless you are in the UK."

It's an excellent service though, and I think it was MoeJoe that first alerted me to it - so a belated

from me for that.

Yeah, you're right. You don't need an invite if you're in the UK

Makes a change, we usually get things last or not at all (like Hulu).

although i suppose with deezer etc. i could find most of it again, like you, but i also have quite a lot of "demo" or autoprod tapes (luckily being digitised by a friend of mine, for posterity) / cds from bands who don't even exist anymore which i'm pretty sure are irreplaceable, and i'd be really sad to lose them.

hey, it says something about recommending music to friends, can you recommend me some samba playlists ?

I've been listening to a lot of Baden Powell (arguably the grandfather of Samba) so I just did a search for him, and then one for samba and cherrypicked from there. I'll send you a playlist in PM

i would like to take one, it is now by invite only here in uk now, and i have a friend who has been waiting on an invite from spotify.
i have playlists for all my favourite groups,and when i get a wireless modem i will be able connect my tablet pc so i can play music anywhere in the house or even in the garden..............

ah yes, baden powell.

he is brilliant. i'll be glad to have your playlist but only if it's not too much trouble ; i'm not sure how it works but i had the impression one of the spotify features was to recommend music to others so i thought there would be a built-in "recommend playlist" feature, or something. i don't want to trouble you !

Yes, if you right click a playlist or track you'll have 2 links one is a spotify url the other a more standard http listing. There's also an attached/third party service called Sharemyplaylist http://www.sharemyplaylists.com/, which looks fun, but I haven't had chance to check it out yet.

sharemyplaylist looks like fun. must investigate further.

zelda_pinwheel · 07-13-2009, 10:16 AM

there's a playlist called "it's grim up north"

Gaurnim · 07-13-2009, 10:20 AM

Given that Zelda has a spotty memory and as such hasn't depleted the french option, can I get an invite ?

You most certainly can

Check your PM soonish

zelda_pinwheel · 07-13-2009, 10:25 AM

go france ! country of melomanes !

zelda_pinwheel · 07-13-2009, 10:26 AM

how do you get invites, by the way ? presumably now that i've got an account, i could also invite people ?

Peverel · 07-13-2009, 10:31 AM

Hmm I wouldn't want to waste an invite so may I ask a question. I am not a particularly avid music listener and tend to find I listen to less current music. Does Spotify mainly cater for the modern/current taste or does have stuff like Burhan Öçal and Suren Asaduryan?

Should be at the top of the player:

if not, go to help > your account and it'll take you to a page with your signup details and a invitations section on that page
