only just trying it out, but seems good so far. streams like it's on your hard drive. 30sec ad every 30mins or so.

I've just read their "What is Spotify?" page and am still none the wiser.

basically looks and works like itunes, but everything is free.
instead of downloading the tracks/albums, they're streamed. the streaming is as quick and good as having the mp3 from what i've heard so far and i've found about 90% of the albums i've searched for.

So you never actually have an mp3 on your computer, and can't save it to an iPod for example?

just streaming at the minute, but if you right click a track it has 'buy now' greyed out, so i asssume you'll be able to buy at some point.
basically, if you've got a pc/laptop with a net connection, you've got a shitload of free music at your fingertips.

anyone noticed that amazon offer you the chance to buy any tune from most well known albums to download now rather than buy the whole c.d/
