Re: Spotify now open to all in the UK
 

Depends how picky you are i guess, my PC is hooked up to my 7.1 sound system, stream audio sounds like crap anyway.

Music is my life, i listen to it everyday...

It's like TV, it has adverts, i wont watch, simple as, rather download the x264 ;)

Spotify
 

just downloaded this and Im really impressed with the sound quality , others like finetune and the likes sound was very tinny but this sounds just like wmp with dfx sound enhancer on . Howd they manage to do this then ?:dunce:

Re: Spotify
 

It uses the ogg Vorbis codec, -q5 setting (nominally 160kbit). Sounds about the same as any other competently compressed audio... ;)

Anyone else experiencing the first part of the songs wizzing through until it stops and starts playing it properly?

Re: Spotify now open to all in the UK
 

Nope ... I've seen BBC iPlayer do that for the first 5 seconds or so of a programme but I've never experienced it with Spotify. Using it now, absolutely fine.

Not doing it so much now with the playlist. sometimes it'll shoot all the way through to the middle.

Re: Spotify now open to all in the UK
 

No issues at all on Spotify and I love it. Been using it ever day since it came out of closed beta.

Have just set myself up a new playlist to listen to while I work. Lovely.

Is "Unfortunately some artists have opted not to be added to Spotify at this time, some frequently requested artists that are not in Spotify include Metallica, The Beatles, Pink Floyd, ACDC and Led Zeppelin, etc. " still an issue with spotify?

Re: Spotify now open to all in the UK
 

Beatles are on there as are Metallica and Pink Floyd

Led Zeppelin aren't nor are AC/DC

Re: Spotify now open to all in the UK
 

The closest you'll get to Beatles tracks on Spotify (or any streaming or digital d/l service) are re-recordings that McCartney's done for his compilation albums.

Re: Spotify now open to all in the UK
 

ah - They have a proper 'The Beatles' catagory, so I didn't look carefully enough as what is in - sorry
