Spotify
Have had my invite for a few weeks, been using it on my PC as I have not felt the need to pay for the premium membership.
Music streaming:
Streaming music has been decent quality for listening at work, whcih is where I mostly use Spotify. Advertisements have popped up about every 6-8 songs on average which is not bad. So far the ads are not tailored towards anything specific, they are completely random which is not bad but can be ignoring. Wish I could pick what I want to hear ads for, like specific genres or technology or even cars.
PC Program:
The program is fairly lightweight and really does not bother me when using other intensive programs. Managing playlists, finding music, etc. is very quick and has a layout like any other media player. The only negative I would give the program is every so often I will tab back to the program and a full page advertisement is covering everything up and I have to close it to access anything. Not a huge negative, but it already has a sidebar for ads which I think is enough.
So far I would rate this as a solid upgrade to any other services currently available, for the free version. Need to decide if no ads or streaming on other devices is worth paying for.
