Anyone tried it yet? It looks awesome enough to actually pay for so I'm thinking about it but I'd like to try it first.

Actually it's quite good, even more.
It's been here since 2008, and it working quite well, either on PCs or phones...
Moreover the desktop client is light and fast, nicely done.
But to use it you really need to pay, unless you LOVE annoying audio ads between tunes, and the per tune max limit.....
Yeah - I don't mind paying for it but I want to try it first. I've heard its good for singles but not so much if you actually want to listen to entire albums.
I've had it for a while and it's pretty sweet, easy to use and setup playlists on your PC or phone.
Oy Mate, 'ello hows yer mum? I heard of it from this cheeky bugger that was having a benny about paying for his iTunes. I says to him "Listen here bloke, there's got to be a better way. Let's go an have ourselves a chip butty and a pint and talk about it.
Well there is no Gapless (as for any streaming product), but listening to albums is not a problem (well, my experience with spodify dates back to 2009, so haven't tried since then, there are way too many unlisted tracks on my hard drive for the moment)..
I got an invite to the free service through Klout so now I'm giving it a go. Pretty impressed with the catalogue on a first scan.
So far every song I've searched for has been on there and they've got brand new albums on there. Freaking awesome.

yall s is welcome
Thanks homie, much appreciated.
thanks dude! doesn't have a whole lot of the stuff I am into, but it does look neat.
'Preciate it, brah.
I like that you can access a lot of albums almost instantly...
What's the catch anyway? That we don't actually own the music?
Yeah - you only have access to it as long as you pay Spotify. Thats for the offline stuff, I mean. Otherwise the streaming is free with ads and honestly the ads haven't been half bad.
Lee, I'm surprised that you've encountered stuff they don't have. I've yet to find a single song (except for Beatles songs due to iTunes exclusive) missing from what I've searched for but I don't have rare music I'm looking for. I'd imagine a lot of local and small stuff is probably not on there.
How is it any different/better than grooveshark?
I have no idea what grooveshark is so I can't tell you.
dancing sharks>everything
tbh, I have spent the last 14 years of my life digging through Bill Laswell's catalogue and artists closely associated with him. I didn't expect to find a lot of it, and didn't but was pleased with what I did find. I just have almost all of it already.
Probably a little better organized than grooveshark but as far as I can tell, it's not better.
I've used grooveshark for a while but not for premium which has phone stream,non premium is pc stream only. You have both? of so what's the price diff?
$9.99 for Spotify Premium and $9 for Grooveshark Anywhere. The difference is minimal as far as pricing goes. If you have an Iphone though, you need to have a jailbroken IPhone to run Grooveshark which is kind of shady.
You'll know that Spotify will be here tomorrow but as far as Grooveshark is concerned, I've wondered how they've lasted so long ttytt.
I'm digging spotify a lot. This is the easiest and quickest way to listen to music period. When downloading music, you have to normally retag the files and then move the folder to your music folder. I've downloaded my fair share of music, and with spotify its seems to eliminate the need to ever have to download something again granted that you buy the premium account. Which i think is worth it. So far I've listened to about 10 songs that I normally wouldn't listen to. This helps you discover new music even more. You no longer have to go download an artists album that you never heard of and then decide for your self if you like it or go to youtube and type in the song. Its all right here for you.
I like that you can listen to the music that you have on your computer also. If you get the premimum service it seems to eliminate the need for google music now. I just spent 2 whole weeks having my music upload to the "cloud." With spotify I wonder how their streaming works on your cell phone when you are playing songs on your computer.
So far I'm really impressed with this service. Also if you have last.fm there is a scrobbler option which is awesome.
I like it so far. Didn't like the fact I had to install a client on PC but this client is already better and makes more sense than Itunes.
Would be nice if it had some kind of native podcast support, but iTunes numbers on that are probably way too big for people to move to it. iTunes may have its issues but the ability to subscribe to podcasts and have them updated daily is awesome.
