Tried spotify and was initially impressed. However, I listen to some fairly esoteric music and I wasn't able to find everything on Spotify which was a letdown. Also, Pandora makes it much easier to find new or unheard of stuff. Spotify interface feels really clumsy and poor in terms of bringing stuff to me that I want versus me going and finding it. It works good if I know what I want. Desktop download is cool but lack of web interface means I may not be able to play at work which Pandora works well for. Spotify is very good.. but I wouldn't call it a pandora killer, yet.. It could be if it made music easier to find and continues to add labels. Pandora offers a service that just isn't available in any other form -- yet. Spotify feels rough around the edges. It does offer a service that is most similar to having a large mp3 collection but not seeing much in terms of value added service. Do the songs work after they are downloaded if I cancel my service? This could be the key deciding factor for me. I don't like that it depends on Facebook for finding tracks/songs. I don't use Facebook when I can help it. PS: I search for several labels to see what I could find: Hotel costes Spotify found: hotel costes, etage 3 hotel costes, la suite, hotel costes 11 hotel costes 12 hotel costes 14 hotel costes 9 hotel costes quatre hotel costes x Albums Amazon found that were missing: hotel costes 8 hotel costes 7 hotel costes 10 hotel costes 2 hotel costes 6 and more Nina hagen Spotify found: Personal Jesus Return of the mother Shcon Ist Die Welt Yesterday Big Band Expression Missing Nunsexmonkrock Schon ist die welt New York New York Nina Hagen Band & Unbehagen Future Islands Found all tracks I listen too Foster the people Found all tracks I listen too Klaus Schulze Good selection Star Wars A selection of tracks Avi Buffalo Found: 2 tracks from How Come? (This is very poor) It was missing the best tracks Truth Sets In, jessica , 5 little sluts
you are holding spotify to a very high standard, P is shit, no matter how bad spotify is. and its not bad. I have looked up esoteric names on spotify and found them. And my esoteric makes yours look like The Beatles. P is down 50% since my call. the gutter is filled with vermin who have faded my calls.
