Free, legal and music streaming are words which you don’t often hear together…until now. Spotify is a free program that you can download. It lets you stream (listen to) millions of songs for free!! You could type in loads of current bands and find all their albums ready to listen to. You’ve also got all the golden oldies there for your pleasure if that floats your boat. The only catch is that you have an advertisement every 30 minutes or so. But for what you’re getting it is well worth it!
Its really simple to use too! Just download the software, register and then you’re ready to start listening. When you want to listen to music just log in, search a song/album/artist and click play!
Spotify has many great features available:
Searches – it remembers your recent searches and compiles them in a list on the left-hand side (see image for example).- Top Lists – Check out what songs everyone else is listening to in Top Lists. It shows you a list of the most popular songs and albums in your country and the entire world.
- Radio – Select the decade and genre then Spotify generates a playlist of great songs from that era for your listening pleasure.
- Playlists – Make your own playlist from your favourite songs on Spotify
- Play Queue – Add albums and songs to your Play Queue to save searching for a new song every time one finishes!
