Looks neat.

But, am I missing something or is there no "generate me a playlist of songs based on this one" function?

What does Spotify have over Rdio?
Easier sharing of songs/playlists?
Slightly larger library?
Inclusion of local files?

I'm kind of lke you, mostly baffled at the amount of praise Spotify gets. Maybe a couple of years ago I could see it, but now I just don't get it. I feel like I'm missing something key, but it's not revealing itself.

I'm confused as to how to use these invites. All I see on spotify is a way to request an invite.

Hmm, that may work... Link?

but he got the percentages flipped. It's $10 for one, $18 for two, $23 for three.

I only played with it for about 15 minutes (of mostly clicking Skip) and so far it doesn't really look like the song matters much, if at all. Using the Rolling Stones as an example, you'd think "Wild Horses", "Happy", "Emotional Rescue", and "The Harlem Shuffle" would produce significantly different playlists, but they really don't.

Been a while, so I thought I'd check: is there any way to delete radio stations yet?

Kind of surprised no one mentioned that student Spotify accounts now include a base Hulu sub for no extra cost.

I don’t think they ever announced one. Some guy was working on his own app (Spotty, which changed names to Snowy apparently after Spotify Legal had a chat with him), and then announced he was “partnering” with Spotify, and that was the last I heard of anything.

Echo products do multi room audio well, BUT (<-- big but) they don't support bluetooth speakers with multi room audio.

That is, if you have BT speakers connected to, say, your Dots and start up multi room audio, it'll drop the BT connection and play through the Dot itself. If the speaker is connected with the 3.5mm audio plug, it'll work fine.

Well, Amazon Echo products support Spotify (and obviously Amazon Music) but not Google Play Music.
Google Home products support Spotify and obviously Google Play music, but not Amazon Music.
Sonos speakers seem to support just about every music service there is. and the Sonos One model has Alexa built in.

In the US. Not sure if there are Canada restrictions.
