Sorry, guy.
Anyone know why my iTunes Library (as it appears in Spotify) has a lot (not all) songs listed twice?

Also, I know there's webpages, but they really need a better what's new and random listening interface. Searching for poo poo I already know about is tantamount to just listening to my iTunes.

Sorry, guy.
Is it me or does it feel like all you can do is listen to music you know about because it's pretty much search-based?

I want something that has genres, plays similar artists, etc. That seems like a pretty big failing unless I'm just missing how to do it.

[edit]

Also some songs just flat out won't play. They look like they should be, but no sound.

If you get a band/artist page, there's usually a "related artists" tab. That doesn't seem to happen on an album page, just the artist page. A bunch of writeups from before the US launch talk about genre radio and artist radio options, but if that's in the US product, it's apparently not in the free version.

It is extremely easy for people to share their playlist or start a collaborative one. It is not a issue at all.

Songs not playing is a server issue. Restart the app it fixes that most of the time. It will be fine in a couple days when they figure out the server load.

Spotify doesn't do this for you.

http://lifehacker.com/5821515/the-essential-spotify-tools

However, the community knows what you want and has things that will help you figure poo poo out and then some.

http://sharemyplaylists.com/ seems to be the best thing around if you can stand digging through a lot of the crap to get to the good nuggets.

The way I see it, Spotify is a tool not a community, much like the Library has a bunch of books but unless you talk to someone you could find yourself with a lot of stuff and no idea what to do with it all.

Rdio/Spotify + Google Music = Success

I'm interested in how spotify's syncing of your personal library works, I haven't tried it. As mentioned there are some *big* holes in the library, but those can be easily filled.

Music quality is...pretty good. most of my other stuff is lame vbr, so I'd anticipate the premium HQ stuff could easily compete.

It works in the way that you choose which playlists you want to be playable offline on your device, which after some time syncing, they will be. They're just like regular playlists except they can be played even without an internet connection.

According to the FAQ, the free service streams at 160 kbps, while premium users bump up to 320 kbps. There's also a low bandwidth option for the mobile app (96 kbps).

160k oggs, no less. Comparing to reference quality stuff you obviously lose a lot of highs and detail, but its still perfectly listen able, way better than pandora.

only once or twice.

I'm amazed at how snappy this is. searching/finding music is hellaciously fast, way faster than churning through my (expansive) local library and trudging through musicplasma or allmusic for new stuff.

The only thing I'm missing is lyrics. I have a lyrics plugin in foobar that finds lyrics for even the weirdest euro metal, and spotify can't even tag a lot of stuff properly.

I have Premium, and it's not included. Apparently on launch day they listed it as a feature, but that was a mistake and it shouldn't have been there. Something is preventing them from doing "radio" features in the USA ... however from what I've read their radio feature was pretty bad, and so we're not missing much.

Here's a write-up on the difference between the UK version and the USA version of Spotify.
