My favourite innovation over the last year is Spotify, I loved the Pandora service which was withdrawn from the UK I’m glad a more sustainable service has replaced the void. I’m too tight fisted to actually pay or the service, so I’m glad I got in when they were still accepting free accounts, although this does mean I am stuck with adverts. If only it was around the five quid mark for the premium service then I would seriously consider signing up. There’s nothing worse than busying away to some ambient Bonobo only to interrupted by a shit band selling a Citroen Saxo. It also looks like Spotify is introducing some nifty Facebook connect integration, I look forward to seeing how this develops as currently I have no ‘friends’. A few things I find interesting about it are.
- It’s a peer-to-peer service
- It’s owned by record labels (shares in exchange for music rights)
- It’s soon to be launched in America
Any way here’s some play lists.
