So, last night @lonelycoo had an idea to share a @spotify playlist with me. With the desktop version, this is possible, but now that Spotify came out for my Nokia 5800, ive now got it on my phone. So, while i drove home from Stranraer to Glasgow, Simon decided my playlist for the drive home.
So, He added a few songs every few minutes and for the first 5-6 miles of my journey, the first few songs synced to my phone and played no problem, but once i got up into the hills of the south west coast of Scotland, the 3G connection got lost. I rejoined the songs around Ayr where the 3G signal came back in and the other 8 songs synced to my phone. If i was in a constant 3G area, this could be a fun feature thanks the genius thinking of Simon. Would you like someone to choose a playlist for you while you were out and about? Imagine its like a radio dj, but he doesnt talk to you and no adverts. Just total random music. What did i get? Simon thought i should listen to a pan pipe version of chasing cars (snowpatrol) and also about how he was now on a boat, a muthaf*cking boat. I enjoyed it! :)

I Have Spotify on my phone. Ooooh, the fun of it! No more boring radio for the journeys down to Dumfries every day. Sync my playlists here at home. Or when i drive to Glasgow, its 3G the whole way, so its all on demand music for me! Whey! :)
some good stuff, too bad I can't play like 75% of the playlist, used be excited by the service but they fucked up as far as my geolocation is concerned...

So you can listen to some of the tracks? How come? I thought that if you you lived in the "right" country, you could listen to all.

well I used UK proxy to register, it took them a month to start catching those "fake" accounts, now I can still use the service, but a very small part of the it

A ok. Too bad! I hope that they open up to the rest of the world sometime. Does it have something to do with the record companies?
