Spotify is the best thing to have happened to me. I've put it on my phone, my tablet, and my smart TV. It really shows you just how over-rated iTunes is.

Free version: awesome and almost everyone I know has it and has never had a complaint. I think it's better than pandora.

Premium version: For about $10 & change you can get unlimited streaming, no ads, and you save your playlists for offline play. I love the offline playlist option because whenever I go on vacation to a third world country, I always have my music available on my phone or ipod or ipad as long as I save it offline.

The only issues I've had are when they kind of raised the price from $9.99/month to $10.50/month because of some new law. Their apps are pretty good and offer a "private session" option which is something I haven't used yet.

Music is a big part of many people's lives. With people spending more and more time on the internet, online music sources have become increasingly popular. There are a variety of sites. Some of which require payments, and some are not so legal.

On Spotify users can create an account to stream music on a computer. Unlike Pandora, you can select select specific songs, skip songs and make playlists. However, there are some commercials. Another unique feature to Spotify is the newsfeed. Here, you can see what your Facebook friends are listening to. You can also share playlists with friends. It is very user friendly, all it takes to find songs is a simple search.

Spotify is a way to listen to music and include a social networking aspect to it as well. I personally don't like how everything and all sorts of apps and websites are being linked into Facebook, because I don't like "allowing application to post on my behalf." Being that i'm particular about what I post and what shows up on Facebook, that is one downfall for spotify for me. As far as the functionality and music selecting algorithm developed by the site, I'm impressed. There is a great selection of music, it is easy to manipulate and maneuver through the songs, artists and pages. All in all it is a good application with room for improvement and a good presence in networking.

As many people find that CDs, cassettes and records are not as well known as they used to be, they tend to rely on things like iTunes where you can download your music right to your computer, iPod or iPhone. The way technology has shaped our economy is a prime reason why people would prefer online downloading and sharing a lot more than going out and buying the music. While searching through web 2.0 I found websites that let you share music with other people while also listening to it for free. These websites are the key to shaping new music.
Spotify is a very effective tool because not only does it let you listen to free music but it linked to Facebook which means that you can share your music with other people. This allows people to listen to their friend's music that they might not have heard about. It is very easy to you use, all you do is download it to your computer free of charge and connect it to your Facebook and you can make your own playlist with your own different kinds of music and share it. The pros are that you can share music and that downloading the different music is free. The cons of Spotify is that it is run solely on the internet so if you have bad internet connect then it pauses to browse or might not even work.
The purpose of this website is to share music with friends along with downloading all your music for free. I would definitely recommend this website to a friend.
