I love using Spotify, it really is simple and has nearly every track on there that I'd want! Not sure how much bandwidth it uses, as that might be a problem on Mobile Broadband. Are writing up/putting individual videos up from your time in London? - Steve Farnworth

The norwegian Music service - @wimp from @aspiromusic is far better! http://wimp.aspiro.com/site... - robert sørensen

Steve: yes, I put a bunch up at http://www.kyte.tv/scobleizer (including one with Spotify) and a few more at http://scobleizer.blip.tv - Robert Scoble

robert: why? Can I use Wimp in USA? - Robert Scoble

Mobile version coming soon. Adverts still not annoying enough to pay for it....yet. - Andrew Cresswell

we are loving Spotify in London, it's so popular it's setting off it's own memes http://jonathanfromspotifyruin... - Ian Crocombe

hmm - Rajeev Prabhakaran Nair

Spotify is awesome but I've had quite a few buffering issues when I've used it. It's probably down to my Internet connection but they really should try to work around that somehow. I mainly use it to previews albums in full before downloading them, so it's bearable. - Tony Ruscoe

The speed and quality of Spotify are amazing. I've been a subscriber for a while now - best 9€/month I've ever spent :) - Jan Ignatius

Robert: thanks for the link, will give that a watch! Shame I missed you guys, couldn't get to the Tweetup! - Steve Farnworth

Is the lack of US presence a US copyright issue? Or careful rollout? - Andrew Cresswell

Spotify also lets you send your listening history to http://last.fm, so you can keep your music profile updated. its a great service; search is really fast, streaming starts almost instantaneously, xml based playlists you can share, adverts are not that often and iphone app on the way. they dont seem to be catering for developers much at the moment with just the libspotify API for linux clients. If they nail that then i foresee see good things happening... - hearn

Andrew: careful rollout. Doing live streaming costs a lot of money and they need to have advertising salespeople and way to monetize. - Robert Scoble

I dont think so, you still have to be invited to use it and Aspiro/Wimp is not overflowing us with inivtes either. Wimps GUI and specially the option to buy song/albums without creditcard (charging your mobile instead) is good. Spotify is better when it comes to sound quality, but Wimp has promised to fix this soon. - robert sørensen

Americans got Hulu, (some) Europeans get Spotify. Of course there's always proxies. Spotify now has higher quality option for subscribers \0/ - Petteri

Spotify is truly a phenomenon over here, Robert. - Iain Baker

Spotify has been so successful over here (esp. UK) that it is no longer novel, and considered normal internet use by many! I love it. - By_tor

Yeah I've been using Spotify for a while now, its great! Still has a few gaps in its music service and recently seems to have removed one album I liked, but in general has most bands/genres covered and apparently constantly adds new stuff. - Roy Herrod

Spotify saved my life, i have been going 3 years without listening to anything new, simply because i don't have time to look for new music. Now i use spotify every day (and pay 10€/month for no ads). Using the playlists its so simple to discover new artists. And a shameless plug... me and a friend made a little site for sharing spotify playlists: http://listopify.com :) - Lasse Johnsen

Rumors say they are hoping to open in the US and release several mobile apps towards the end of the year. - Lasse Johnsen

Spotify hasn't made it yet? Wow - at least you still have Pandora - we got that then it was cruelly taken from our grasp - NMInet

Sportify is cool, but have been addicted to Last.fm for a long time. I know they are not exactly the same, but similar enough for me not to change. On top of that you have to listen to commercials if you want the free version, which I am not a big fan of - Asgeir

Here in Canada (and most places outside the US) we are blocked from Hulu, Pandora and many others. Is it wrong to feel a little glee about a service that's not available in the US? - Kevin Fair

Spotify has major drawbacks in that the content is limited when compared to others (check out http://www.we7.com) and you have to download a client to use it. There are much better options. The interface is also unimaginative - a darker less functional version of iTunes. - Angus Neil from iPhone

Roland, I agree its relatively simple to use but it doesn't give you the visual experience or easy to use but advanced features (such as queueing up a playlist, creating a personal playlist, one click purchase, sharing/embedding etc) that We7 does. Also, having a number of computers (home mac, work pc, netbook ubuntu), flexibility for me is key - when I can stream any music I want in... more... - Angus Neil

it'd be 50k plus one a day if they'd make it available to us yanks. - motownmutt

Can't get spotify in Italy- even with an invite - but what about http://grooveshark.com ? their catalogue is unbelievable !! - Nicholas Paul Gordon from iPhone

I've found that to be true in several instances. It's unfortunate but true. - Jason Shultz from twhirl

Get Ramzi to destroy it by fire - Josh Haley

I don't even think I will pirate it this time. As I don't see it doing much new stuff for me as a designer and photographer. - Mathew™ aka Youngblood
