.... But i read an article with Lars ulrich when he sued napster in 2000,and i thought i want to give it a try to see what it's like. .

Brilliant!
Probably not the message Ulrich was trying to send!

I don't bother with illegal downloading anymore either... what's the point when Spotify has such a broad selection? And I mean, if you don't want to pay for Spotify and want to get around the "X amount of hours per month" limit, you could just... I dunno... have multiple free Spotify accounts Just don't log into Facebook with it and you'll be fine!

I haven't tried spotify don't really understand it, it's one thing to be able to listen to music on your PC and another to be able to play it independently of an internet connection or indeed PC. I still like the vinyl/CD more than the more up to date digital formats. The internet is great for introducing your self to new bands and what have you, just find it a bit clinical, but I dunno I might give spotify a try sometime, can you actually download stuff to KEEP or is it just being able to listen?

Premium allows you to download - great when you're in the gym etc.

I always thought Metallica were pretty mean spirited over that Napster thing, it didn't go down very well with a lot of their fans either, how much fucking money do they need ffs. I am not saying it's great to download for free, personally I don't bother and would rather have a CD than a download any day.

I liked it because it was lars who stood against it. Couldve been any other musician. The media thought they were going to get a great 12 second soundbite to which the haters of lars could sum him up in. Obviously they diddn't know who they were talking to. So when he had a camera infront of him it was the usual "when i was younger i was a fan of the NWOBHM, i ran the official Motorhead fan club" blah,blah,blah,blah and i think people switched off after 15 minutes of it.

Pidge, I would say "what?" but quite frankly I'm so confused this time I don't know if that's a relevant comment or not......

Home taping is killing music!

I have since downloaded spotify on the PC seems to be all free. Is their a catch? I've downloaded loads.

[Bobinblack]

I'll tell you the bloody catch mate, try carrying round your laptop to listen to music while you're walking, you'll have arms like Popeye's in no time. It's even worse if you don't have headphones and you don't want to disturb anyone nearby, getting the laptop near to your ear is very difficult and tiring.

Yes, there is a catch, you are taking the Ferraris out of musicians garages by using Spotify.
