Streaming music through Spotify

[Quarzi]

Just wanted to make a tip to you guys =)

Spotify is a new "music client" where you can search and listen to music totally free and legally. The only "downside" is that the free version adds advertisements now and then between songs (like one 30sec ad every half hour)

It works kinda like youtube or other streaming sites where you search and stream media, but never download it to your computer.
Well, this works almost in the same way in a little program you install on your computer and stream music at around 160kbps bitrate. (more than enough imo)

Not every single album in the world is going to be here right now since it just became public in October and I don't think they have agreements with every single record company and artist out there, but you can listen to groups releasing albums through SONY BMG and many other big ones.

The easiest way to grasp what it is probably.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBkmBb8Vmg4

At the moment I write this the free version of the program is currently only available for some countries, but they'll expand more and more.

I've had it for a pretty long time, its nice since its easy to search for bands etc you havent heard so much of, but you came over one song and now you wanna hear the rest of them, and then afterwards you can dl it like a pirate for better quality. in my opinion the quality is a bit low on alot of songs, and decent on others. after you have heard FLAC format you probably know what i mean as its 800-1000kbps~
