Last night I set up Spotify account without an invite (thanks TechCrunch) because it’s not available yet in the US, and then proceeded to download the Windows version and install on Linux using Wine. I’m using it for the first time tonight, since my fiancee Ron took control last night and couldn’t stress enough how AMAZING it was, then proceeded to commend me on how gloriously geeky I am for finding this music service for us to use and install it using WINE no less–since he’s not managed to get anything to run on Wine yet. I don’t think he realizes yet how wicked clever I am…(nor do I)… But anyway, now he’s snoring, I have control, and I’m setting up all of my playlists of all the old school house music DJs I loved back in the 90s and still love today (even though I’m close to an old lady.) But it has instantly improved my quality of life. It’s not just a music streaming service. It’s access to this huge music database that seems to return anything you search for, INSTANTLY, and you can play anything you want, INSTANTLY. It’s so easy to drag and drop songs into a playlist. Pause, rewind, fast forward. Or just search for, find, and listen to a great, melodic deep house tune that reminds you of the old days and makes you smile…INSTANTLY.
