Posted December 20, 2015 Since I'm gonna have to migrate from Rdio to Spotify because of its closure coming up, I decided to give Spotify another go. I must say, I'm kinda impressed. It could be more responsive but I love the design of it. How is your experience with Spotify? Check out my guide on how to scan cover art here! Local asshole and 6th generation console enthusiast.

Posted December 20, 2015 Spotify is great, and will remain great if they don't push out those new features on free users etc. Also, if you own your music (mostly) Google Play is fantastic alternative and has a free option.

Posted December 20, 2015 I love it just wish I could add ripped music to it since there is no way they will get some of the obscure music I listen to. Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

Posted December 20, 2015 Wow that's a sexy desktop, is that a theme, if so which one? sorry a bit unfamiliar with W10 (more of a Linux guy) Its Rainmeter Lots of very cool stuff you can do with it, kinda like over the top widgets for your desktop. Im not quite sure if its openly available for Linux, and when I say "not openly" I mean you may have to do some a lot of tinkering to get it to work 4690K // 212 EVO // Z97-PRO // Vengeance 16GB // GTX 770 GTX 970 // MX100 128GB // Toshiba 1TB // Air 540 // HX650 Logitech G502 RGB // Corsair K65 RGB (MX Red) Link to comment https://linustechtips.com/topic/508992-i-decided-to-give-spotify-another-chance-and-i-must-admit-im-kinda-impressed/#findComment-6789338 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 20, 2015 yep this is actually the main reason why i stayed with rdio for the longest time but i've never used anything else other than spotify and soundcloud. spotify has all my popular music i need, and soundcloud is great for music nobody else has heard of.

Posted December 20, 2015 ive been using spotify premium for about 4 years now, after using pandora forever. i love it. it has all the features that pandora has, except it lets you save the music into playlists to listen to later, and you can download them for offline play. not to mention the radio feature honestly works better than pandora. Theyve added a few weird things to the ui within the past year, but its pretty ignorable. i wont go back to anything else. i dont even save music on my phone anymore, with exception to the music i use for ringtones(Angel Beats soundtrack) How do Reavers clean their spears? |Specs in profile| The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend.

Posted December 20, 2015 How is your experience with Spotify? It's completely useless to me, as a rock and metal lover nearly all the groups I look for it doesn't know. I couldn't even find enough stuff to make a playlist.

Posted December 20, 2015 My desktop looks almost the same as yours. Rainmeter is awesome. Spotify is one of the best things ever, other than the fact that I accidentally deleted all my songs and had to start over. how does one accidentally delete all their songs "If it has tits or tires, at some point you will have problems with it." -@vinyldash303 this is probably the only place i'll hang out anymore: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/274320-the-long-awaited-car-thread/ Current Rig: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600, Abit IN9-32MAX nForce 680i board, Galaxy GT610 1GB DDR3 gpu, Cooler Master Mystique 632S Full ATX case, 1 2TB Seagate Barracuda SATA and 1x200gb Maxtor SATA drives, 1 LG SATA DVD drive, Windows 10.
