Spotify Offer
 
I haven't seen this anywhere else, and although I'm not sure whether to put this here or in the VM services section (it does refer to the 50MB service though...).

===============================================
We want to say a big, loud thank you for being a valued 50Mb customer by giving you Spotify Premium free for 3 months when you sign up to our super fast up to 50Mb broadband for another 12 months.

Imagine having access to over 13 million music tracks and albums with no interruptions - for free. Cool or what?

With Spotify Premium you can search for any song or album you like and then play it straightaway without having to download it. And even better, because you don't have to listen to any adverts, you can just enjoy getting lost in the music.

http://shop.virginmedia.com/existing.../spotify1.html
===============================================

The link then goes on to say that after the 3 months are up users will be automatically put onto the Spotify Free offering, which has some restrictions.

I currently use Grooveshark, but this might tempt me. I just need to find out more about the offline mode.

What. In fact, Zzzzzzzz. And it's not "for free", it's "included in the price".

Would someone like to make this point to the people running "Music On Demand" on the TV service? VM can't have it both ways - either adverts are a good thing, or they're evil; changing your mind across different services is not on.

It doesn't say adverts are bad, it just says its better without them .. which it is .. but if you want the top content, you either pay the extra or have the adverts ..

When u receive the URL, check the end of it.... spotify1 is 3 months spotify2 is 6 months, and spotify 3 is 12 months

OK. Beyond signing up for another 12 months, does it cost any more? If no, then you are nitpicking..

Maybe I could point out to you that Spotify is not VM. They get the money from any ads on their service. VM don't.

I'm more than happy with 6 months of unlimited listening with adverts, then a 30 day free trial of premium.
Rinse repeat with a new account ;)

1 & 2 is for Spotify Premium, 3 is for Spotify Unlimited

Virgin misquote the price for Unlimited as normally £9.99/month in the main text but correctly show it as £4.99/month in the smallprint.

Re: Spotify Offer
 
It is normally 9.99 with mobile .. which to be honest is a little bit of a rip ..
