Interesting article about Spotify

[Clare Newsome]

... here in today's Observer, with some fascinating factoids- eg that UK Spotify users streamed more than 10 million plays of Michael Jackson's songs in the day after his death

Thanks for sharing that Clare. All I want is King Crimson, more space for playlists on the display, a better search facility for genres and a good old a-z of the bands on the site. If higher bit rates come as Vorbis goes beyond its present q9 streaming for premium that would be an added bonus.

Inspired by discussions in this very forum, I gave Spotify a try for the first time at the weekend. I was delighted to find they had an album by The Chameleons which I don't have and had never heard, I lined it up and listened to the whole thing - fab!

My seven year old son, playing on the floor popped up with a bemused expression when the music was briefly replaced by British Gas adverts but I didn't find it too intrusive. Thought sound quality very good, worked well on wireless. Good stuff.
