About a week ago I got an invite from Spotify! Oh joy, oh happiness! It was like an early Christmas gift. And it was everything I dreamed of... Eh, well. I guess there are some flaws like missing certain artists and stuff, but we gotta see the big picture here - this, my friends, is the future.
Wishlist:
- add songs from your harddrive to your playlists
- get Led Zeppelin and Beatles in there - come on!
- add some kind of social collaborative filtering recommendations in there
- more invites, plz!
Actually, I had a similar idea some time ago. All media should be online and centralised: music, images, movies, books, etc... It just seemed like too big a project for one small guy to carry out. So, thanks Spotify! We are on our way to the future!

"get Led Zeppelin and Beatles in there - come on!"
Sorry, but at this time they don't want to participate. Other artists with the same negative attitude towards online music is Pink Floyd, AC/DC and Metallica.
That is really sad. I mean, they are bands with a huge number of fans and could make a difference in changing the way music is distributed. Why wont they leave the 20th century?
The only good news is that history shows they will loose to evolution eventually...
