Spotify - Free Music Streaming

One of the most promising music services today comes from Sweden and it is called Spotify. I have been using it for about two weeks since I received an invitation from Antti at Monoliitti. Spotify is a music streaming service and at the moment the music selection is quite large. Spotify uses its own client application (available for Windows and OS X, Windows version should work in Linux with Wine), which is easy to use, fast and solid as rock. The best thing is that the service is free as it is funded by advertisements.

Bad thing is that because Spotify is in beta testing phase the free accounts are limited: You need an invitation to create one.

Luckily, I found the service so nice that I wanted to support it and subscribed to a premium account, which costs 9,99€ a month (less than 14 USD). As a premium subscriber I have received some invitations and I have some spare ones left. As a Christmas/Hanukkah/whatever present to my readers, I will send invitations to the first two people commenting to this post (don't forget to write your real email address in the message part in form like your(dot)name(at)gmail(dot)com).

  1. Tota on pitänyt kokeilla ja nytpä ehkä sain mahdollisuudet siihen. jos saan tunnarit osoitteeseen j(munsukunimi) (dot) gmail.com, niin olisihan perin mahtavuutta. Kiitokset!

    Hyvää jynkytystä uusi Solar satan biisi, vaikkakin ne ei-jynkky-osuudet tekivätkin siitä vielä nautittavamman.

  2. It would be very interesting to be able to use service like Spotify so if you still have one invite left I would be thankful for it.
