Spotify - A New Music Streaming Program! Legal P2P software.

[dangerdan 0]

Spotify is a music streaming program that emerged just a few months ago. You can stream almost any song virtually instantly. And the best part is its legal.

There are currently two membership types, free and premium. Spotify Premium is available in Austria, Belgium, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, The Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Sweden, Switzerland, Spain and the UK. The free version is only available in Sweden, Norway, Finland, the UK, France and Spain and in some of those countries an invitation is required.

It is not currently available in the US or Canada, however they planned to launch it in the US by the end of next year.

The site is not yet making any money in the fierce music market, but it has signed a deal to sell music downloads via online music store 7digital.

Seems a bit silly, I have it and have tried it but I just can't take it seriously. No real view on it, it's had exclusives but youtube is youtube.

It's so much better than youtube. You can queue music, save playlists its all in a real neat interface. A must have for any music fan in my opinion.
