https://www.spotify.com/en/get-started/
===========================
To any beginners, Spotify is the latest internet music-listening experience.
The main points are:
- It's totally legal, legitimate, safe and free
- There is a staggering choice of music, played at good quality
- You will need to download the Player with an free account (quick, simple and only once)
- It's best described as an internet pub jukebox
- It is very simple to use, yet beautifully designed
- You can create your own Playlists and if you like a song, save it to that Playlist
- It is interactive, so it can be shared around
==========================
It's all free and legal. The record companies have allowed Spotify to play their songs.
The artists get paid, but like a radio, you listen, but you don't pay
The choice of songs is in the millions, from yesteryear to today
All tracks or whole albums - you choose
The only drawback is one or two mega-artists have still to sign up (Beatles, Floyd etc.)
Songs are complete and in good quality
You can download the Player from here:
https://www.spotify.com/en/get-started/
create an free (NOT Premium) account first (around half a dozen standard things to fill in)
and then download - Pin Spotify to your Start Menu or Desktop page
Internet pub jukebox - this is where the record companies feel safe.
You choose the song, listen to it and that's it.
You can't download it, burn it, put it on another device or play it elsewhere.
You can however, save the song to your Spotify favourites, where it will remain forever.
Simple to use. One searchbox, one results box and one basic Play area:
http://www.kjell.fi/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/spotify.png
but a nice, sleek design
Create your own Playlists - Click '+ New Playlist' on the left and name it
(as a beginner I created 5 at first '1960s', '1970s', '1980s', 1990's and '2000s'
and saved songs by date at first - once you get familiar you can change and re-arrange)
Interactive - You can copy the URL of one of your playlists and share it by e-mail etc.
The recipient clicks and you can listen immediately to those songs.

Poppy, I could change the top10 every day, let alone the 3. Can I just do the top3 at this precise moment? 1. Crushed - The Wedding Present 2. Life During Wartime (live) - talking Heads 3. No - TheWedding Present Sorry an' that cannyman 06 Apr 19:58 Impossible to name a top 3 imo. But I'll have a go. missjones 06 Apr 20:01 yeah very hard but for now witness the fitness , roots manuva lost highway , hank williams sr welcome to the jungle , gnr kingfisher 23 06 Apr 20:03 1, Burning Love -Elvis 2, High and dry-Radiohead 3,Fu** Forever-Babyshambles morpteh mackem 06 Apr 20:03 impossible , but at this moment 1 wichita lineman - glen campbell 2 save what you can - triffids 3 ventura highway- america anubis7 06 Apr 20:04 My top 3 has been unaltered for the last 10 years until I recently bought the new CD by Jem,her second album and discovered a stunning song which I would recommend to anyone on here. So my revised top 3 is: 1. Endless Dream - Yes (1994) 2. Supper's Ready - Genesis (1972) 3. You Will Make It - Jem (2009) sandysboy 06 Apr 20:06 Imagine,john lennon,American Trilogy,elvis presley,My Way,frank sinatra Clarky9 06 Apr 20:07 1. Avril Lavigne - Slipped Away 2.

What is spotify ? Poppydog. 06 Apr 20:44 Wow, Dark Destroyer, a fellow Kate & Anna fan - I doubt there's many of us on here ---------------------------------------- Sevenone, I will add a beginner's guide (believe me it is very simple), when I put up the main thread. There's enough here to be making a start. Thanks guys Dark Destroyer 06 Apr 21:06 It could easily have been an all "Kate & Anna" top 3. Heart like a Wheel and My Town were right up there as well. Coachbuster 06 Apr 21:14 Agree with Canary ,it would be impossible to name a top 3 really . Hard enough picking 3 from a year,genre,even band sometimes . I did a top 100 one time,but even that changed month to month. morpteh mackem 06 Apr 21:17 1 wichita lineman 2 streets of your town- go-betweens 3 there is a light - smiths anubis7 06 Apr 21:23 Coachbuster,I did a top 100 in 1985. I update it every few years to bring in new songs and change the order. It has made selecting songs for your top 3 for each year threads quite easy as I can just take the highest placed songs for each year. Coachbuster 06 Apr 21:37 Anubis ..... exact same thing here . At the end of every year until around 2002 ,i used to set myself up with beer ,snacks and a comfy chair and do my top 100 rundown, playing each record in turn down to the #1 chart position. 5- 6 very well spent hours .I stopped short of playing jingles pre recorded from the top 40 though anubis7 06 Apr 21:42 I did mine 10 songs per night over 10 nights. I like long epics so it would take me a lot more than 6 hours to play mine. My top 3 mentioned above would take 45 minutes to play back to back. dan hardcore 06 Apr 21:42 1. stevie - royal trux 2. don't stop me now - queen 3. peoria lunch box blues - magnolia electric company Coachbuster 06 Apr 21:44 Could have been longer than 6 looking back 10 each night is more sensible imo The Priest 06 Apr 21:48 Go for it Poppy 1) Sweet Thing/Candidate/Sweet Thing Reprise - Bowie (Diamond Dogs) 2) California Dreaming - Mamas and the Papas 3) Arriving Somewhere But Not Here - Porcupine Tree (Deadwing) thegame 06 Apr 21:50 Wuthering Heights - Kate Bush Hotel California - The Eagles Bus Stop - The Hollies Poppydog. 06 Apr 21:54 Coming along nicely - it looks pretty good, even though I say so myself I've only uploaded those that have all 3 tracks available Will get back to those who have missed Created Playlists on a shared Spotify site, which will be posted on the new thread with all the details Those experienced Spotify users on here can test it out then for me HRH The Lager Khan 06 Apr 22:02 1) Alive - Pearl Jam 2) Dream On - Aerosmith 3) Oratorio - Hundred Reasons Bloody impossible to pick 3 though! SLB 06 Apr 22:06 1. When The Levee Breaks - Led Zeppelin 2. Total Trash - Sonic Youth 3. Relative Ways - And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead |

Do we have to download something? When i press play now i get "no page" type thingy missjones 07 Apr 19:36 yes you do you have to download it mad mad moon 07 Apr 19:38 Ta Miss J mad mad moon 07 Apr 19:57 Some great tracks on Chit-chat no1 How do you download tracks on to I-pod anubis7 07 Apr 20:06 I have registered and it all seems to work. Only one of my songs,Supper's Ready,is on there but at least it is more than twice as long as any other song on Playlist 2. I hope you will all spare 23 minutes to listen to it to the end. attitude adjuster 07 Apr 22:10 i'm listening to chit chat 3 ...a pretty ecletic mix. the track by America is the first hidden gem i've discovered bodil 07 Apr 22:18 Fine treble Ancients. How about Kate and Anna's Goin' Back to Harlan? 1. Spem in Alium - by any great 64-voice choir. 2. Come up And See Me Make me Smile - CR - a hot summer when I had a hot summer. 3 She Moves Through The Fair - Sandy Denny/Fairport or Richard Thompson's subsequent stuff. All change tomorrow, apart from 1. Platini 07 Apr 22:26 an impossible task for sure, but here's 3 that I couldn't live without Whiter Shade of Pale - Procul Harum Respect - Aretha Franklin Maggie May - Rod Stewart and The Faces rogerthebutler 07 Apr 23:13 Today it's: The Biggest Horizon - The Clint Boon Experience Red Sector A - Rush Long Way Back From Hell - Danzig |

missjones 07 Apr 10:26
thats allvery well but how do i make it work Ken Masters 07 Apr 10:48 Go to spotify.com, download some doodad thingumy then paste that ^ address into a browser, click "play now", it'll ask if it can run a a program on your computer, you say yes, click yes, maybe flick the bean, then enjoy the tunes imo. Poppydog. 07 Apr 11:54 There's no ingenious crafting to the running order of the Playlists It's purely down to the random order Chit-Chatters posted on the other thread. (It's a pity quite a few of their choices aren't available yet) |

By:
Sevenone,
Did you get it working. It may be worth trying again if you've restarted your PC It seems, after some research, it's not a Spotify problem, but how your PC is set up. (something to do with your browser or your firewall/anti-virus) It's a pity Londis isn't around, as he knows Spotify and PCs better than me probably? |
