Any one use Spotify

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

Of course! Been using it for years.
No need to upload or download anything anymore. All the music, all the time, just there.

Any one not using spotify? :o

Uhm, don't really remember exactly how I installed it. Back then you needed an invite, kind of like with gmail when it was new. So I guess I needed to tap in the code of the invite or something. Should just be a regular install these days though, right?

Oops! Guess it's not available in Canada unless you do some workaround.

Here's a couple of links:

Hey! If he's in England and using it, you're all set! Just upload the software and use his account!
Assuming of course that he's OK with that, but you can install the software and use the same account on any number of computers, cell phones, ipads, whatever.

The only problem is if you both listen to it at the same time, then you may get an error message that the account is currently used elsewhere, but with the time difference between Canada and the UK that should be a minor problem! 8-)

You'll never guess, my son received a message from Spotify telling him he had been using a foreign IP for to long and they would cancel his service :-) so there goes that option
