Anybody used this?

Spotify (https://www.spotify.com/en/)

Spotify is a streaming music program that allows instant listening to specific tracks or albums with almost no buffering delay. Music can be browsed by artists, albums or created playlists as well as by direct searches. Although it is not possible to save the streamed music for use outside the application, a link is provided to allow the listener to directly purchase the material via partner retailers. It looks like itunes.

Download a little program and listen to all the music you want, You cannot download the tracks to your computer, just listen to them but its a great way to discover new music., Within seconds I had the Chicane back catalogue to listen to. :) I love the fact you can create playlists. The downside is when using the free version it plays an advert every so often so in that respect I suppose its like a radio station but with your choices of music.

A news article on it:

Spotify on Sky News (http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/World-News/Spotify-Website-Offers-Millions-Of-Free-Tunes-Over-The-Internet-To-Music-Fans/Article/200903415247250?lpos=World_News_First_Technology_Article_Teaser_Region __1&lid=ARTICLE_15247250_Spotify_Website_Offers_Millions_Of_Free_Tunes_Ove r_The_Internet_To_Music_Fans)

Check it out or if you already have let me know what you think.

I've got it since almost a year ago (got an beta testing invite really early from the Swedish developers :D) and I love it! For me it was like a wow experience and now I very seldom listen to mp3s anymore and am happy that I can get access to pretty much anything - yes, even DCD and Gerrard (ok, this starts to sound like a commercial). Also they're about to release a Spotify app for mobiles and will release Spotify later in the US (and probably other parts of the world) so just hang on and you'll be part of the S community soon. :)
