Spotify-digital music service gives access to mills of songs

Currently you get 20 hours per month of "free music", this is good for checking out the sound of an album before you commit to buy/download, I use it to listen to compilation albums to find any artists that I like the sound of to then further check out their material.

Neat. Not available in Poland.

I use last.fm to find similar artists, check a couple of most listened-to songs, if I like it, I get the album.

Ah damn, I'll have to check out last.fm actually.

Sure, drop me a message if you register.

Will be interesting to see if Spotify remains free. About 1 million people suscribe and 6 or 7 million use the free service. The music industry must hate Spotify, but then it is better than piracy and illegal stuff.
