Spotify - new cool feature

[idc]

You can now listen to Spotify off line with the Premium service. The offline mode allows you to store (somehow, dont know how that bit works) playlists, up to 3,333 tracks which you can then listen to offline.

Noticed this earlier,guess it must store the music on your HDD.

Had noticed a while ago that in "preferences" you can set how much storage space is used by Spotify,so guess that was what it was intended for in the first place!

speaking of which .... any news if spotify will allow new people to access, or is it only via paying or invite only?

 

[idc]

Nothing yet, do you need an invite?

 

[idc]

Hummmmm, not so excited now as I cannot get it to work. Nothing is downloading.

EDIT - there is a file marked Storage in Spotify in Application Data in Local Settings. I presume when I get it to work that is where the files will go. My Spotify, and it came this way, is set to 'size at most 10gb'.

I dont have any invites but if you sign up to Spotify for a day (99p) then it might push you up the invitation list?

I'm not saying this works but for 99p its worth a go.

I have now got the tracks to download. I dont know why it did not work last night. By the time I have finished the first lot I will have 174 tracks from my favourite 20 albums. So 3,159 tracks to go.

All that is left is for there to a means of synching such music with an or ipod and Spotify will be complete. It will be able to dominate the world of music.

Well Spotify for iPhone (for Premum users anyway) had offline synching before Spotify for desktop, so the functionality is there, just not as you describe it. Though now that storage on the PC is possible, it's only a small step away, shirley - and frankly, could honestly be the beginning of the end of the iTunes Store.

... and a remote app style control for the Ipod/touch for folk who stream via airfoil. Sorry to bang on but am I the only one who NEEDS THIS NOW?

Spotify started to throttle (cut out due to lack of bandwidth in the local area) tonight for the first time in ages. So I downloaded the album I was listening to, which took about 3 minutes and now I am listening to it un-interupted.
