They already didnt have enough music to catch my intrest, and now they are forecd to remove content .. great .. so just bring on the Sharing and the caring at TPB. Downloading and having the music on your own computer or media device is 10000 better then streaming. When i want my music i want it now... i may stream from my collection to my phone, but when other people are telling me what to listen to i might as well just listen to any web radio.

It reminds me a bit of lala.com which you have to pay for, I think, and which I had been planning to use, it's about 10c to buy a song for streaming or something? But then blip.fm came along, which basically lets you stream any song for free anyway, so I've been using that, but I'm not sure they've got rights clearance for everything, so they might start truncating songs soon. But Spotify so far is great, but of course it's beta so they haven't put the adverts in yet. But I'll still probably use it when they do, because prefer to do things the way to rights holders want them to be done, it just seems fairer. I do like this.

It even beats torrenting for music becuase it plays instantly as if it was already downloaded, and the range of music available is surprisingly huge, even at this early stage.
