Spotify in the car

Last month I signed up to the Spotify music service and since then I’ve been using it non-stop. Imagine iTunes with an unlimited supply of music and you have Spotify. Just search for whatever artist or album you want and you can start listening to it right away and it’s free. If you don’t want to sign up to any of their paid subscriptions you can listen to music but every now and then you get interrupted by ads. If you do subscribe to a package then there are many advantages including the ability to use their iPhone app.

If you sign up to the Premium Spotify account you will automatically be granted access to their iPhone app which is a downsized version of their desktop software yet with all the same capabilities. If you’re lucky like me and have a car stereo that allows you to stream music to it using bluetooth then you’re in for a nice surprise because Spotify works flawlessly with 3G. So far in the two days I’ve been using it I haven’t had any streaming problems. In fact, it’s been very responsive and fast when searching for artists and playing or forwarding songs. You really forget the fact that the music is actually being streamed and even the sound quality is pretty darn good. Spotify in the car is just incredible.

So if you haven’t signed up to Spotify you can do so by visiting their website [Here]

if you want to discovery new songs you shouldn’t be listening to SuperStation anyway 😉

If you want to discover new music you could always use Pandora which is what I do. Although Spotify does have a “what’s new” and “top list” plus a “related artist” list which also helps in discovering.

Yes streaming uses bandwidth but road trips are not long in Kuwait anyway and depending on your 3G package you will have more than enough bandwidth to stream songs without hitting the cap.

Mark, I believe this is not possible anymore as they limited the payments to be only credit cards with account in the same country where your Spotify is registered in. Are you still using it?
