Christmas came early in 320 kbps!

https://www.spotify.com/us/holiday/?utm_source=Spotify_House

Offer ends New Years Eve 2014.

There's also $5/mo for students.

 

[Necrovex]

Sweet! I got in for the promo. Also, anyone can grab this promo and then cancelled their subscription immediately without fears of ending their three-month sub prematurely.

 

[Aselith]

Not even a link? Worst OP '14

 

[GraveHorizon]

Does Spotify have any good Japanese artists other than L'Arc~en~Ciel? I want to listen to actual anime music, not shitty music box versions of Utada Hikaru and disgusting covers of Naruto openings.

 

[Aselith]

They have Hatsune Miku and you get discounts on DBZ branded polo shirts! Uguuuuuu~

 

[giancarlo123x]

Amazing offer.

 

[InfiniteNine]

Cool I guess I'll try this out. This is like Pandora or something right?

 

[RBH]

Well shit, I might just try this out.

Why restrict yourself to anime music if you wanna find good Japanese artists?

 

[Navy Bean]

Sorta. Except you can choose the songs you want to hear, make playlists, and even download stuff.

 

[AzureSkies]

Damn, this sucks.

First used a premium trial back in 2011 in the UK and can't get this now while using US Spotify.

 

[Jake.]

the same offer is running in australia but it's $12 as opposed to $1. what a joke.

 

[Aselith]

Yeah, it's a service where you just search for a song, artist or album then can listen to anything available. So for example you search for Vitalic - Rave Age and you can listen to the whole album for free.

It also has a nice radio option to play similar music like Pandora although not as robust. There's also a Discover tab that let's you find simialr music which I like. It usually has good recommendations after you start saving artists and stuff.

Lol AUS gets like the worst offers every time.

Anyway, 5$ Student discount isn't a bad deal either.

 

[InfiniteNine]

I find it amusing that they have an artist page for Balzac and not The Pillows which is more popular in the US. lol

Alright thank you very much! This could be good since I don't really bother ripping my CDs too often.

 

[JesseZao]

VadernnnnNNNNOOOOOOOO

I just started my trial a few weeks ago

Although, I could just set up a new account with a different emial/ccard I suppose.

I will do that. Edit: ...and done.

 

[U2NUMB]

Awesome.. thanks for the heads up.. recently got into Spotify so this will be fun to try out.

 

[InfiniteNine]

Well when I read this I thought they'd have more than Dixie Flatline and Livetune aside the from shitload of shitty covers and remixes. As much as I like Just be Friends I'd like some more variety.

 

[Shadybiz]

Awesome.. thanks for the heads up.. recently got into Spotify so this will be fun to try out.

Yeah I'm in the same boat. I noticed this deal this morning, when I by chance decided to try Spotify out at work. I had tried it before, but it seems like there have been a lot of improvements, and the mobile app is much better now, from what I can see.

I just used the free version today, but the paid version could be super convenient, especially since my ipod is going south.

But anyway, for $1 for the 3 months, I don't think I can go wrong with this.

 

[Rootbeer]

they send me this offer to my e-mail

I signed in with the spotify account associated with my e-mail and i tells me i'm not eligable (yeah, I know they are trying to get NEW sign ups but what about lapsed members!?)

Don't send an e-mail to me offering a good deal and then say i'm not eligible

 

[SJRB]

the same offer is running in australia but it's $12 as opposed to $1. what a joke.

€ 9,99 over here. What a scam, lol.

 

[Knoxcore]

€ 9,99 over here. What a scam, lol.

Live in America? I'm kidding.

I already have Spotify. In fact I had Spotify then moved to Google Music then back to Spotify when I realized I could use by student discount (that and finding playlists is so much better on Spotify). I think it's more than worth it.

 

[threetri333]

Just a reminder. This deal ends in 2 days!

 

[Deft Beck]

I've been a premium subscriber for three years. This is a great deal for new users.

 

[PSGames]

Signed up. I enjoy the interface much more than competing options.

 

[Phoenix]

I am a subscriber and have been for a while. Was planning to leave it because they didn't have a family plan and are being assholes about supporting the Chromecast and other devices - but as I was about to move the account to Google Play Music I saw that they had a *new* family plan option and so I'm with them for a while until GPM gets one.

 

[ComputerMKII]

Why should I use Spotify instead of Atraci?

 

[Chance Hale]

I use Xbox Music but I'll try this for my new android phone given the deal. Where does it save full albums to on the computer though and can you change the default location?

 

[axisofweevils]

The European offer WAS terrible but....

I just checked again and the offer is now 99p for three months here in the UK. O/. I took advantage of it.

 

[statham]

Just signed up, Thanks OP.

 

[Monocle]

Thanks for this!

 

[Smushroomed]

can i use spotify to replace pandora?

I like typing in a name or song to create radio station

 

[kabel]

I'm interested to try this out but they want a Visa, etc.

No chance with PayPal?


meh...

 

[Monocle]

can i use spotify to replace pandora?

Yes, there's even a radio tab. You can also go to the artist's page, hit the "..." button, and select Radio. Or do the same thing with the "..." button next to any song.

 

[beato_angelico]

€ 9,99 over here. What a scam, lol.

still a decent deal.

 

[Ivan 3414]

meh...

I just used PayPal. There's a link at the bottom that says something along the lines of "want to use a different payment option?"

 

[Starviper]

Sprint did this promotion with my new phone -- 6 months free and then 7.99 for 2 years after the trail lol.

 

[kabel]

Yes! You're right.


Thank you very much^^

 

[hawkshockey11]

Better quality and more consistent content since Atraci just searches and plays from youtube.

Also I'm not sure if Atraci allows offline listening (doubt it though) while Spotify premium does.

Offers a radio option for every song, artist, or genre.

Large database of community created playlist (For example someone has probably made a playlist of all the songs on your favorite licensed game soundtrack)

Spotify works on pretty much every device.

It's worth a try at least for $1

 

[FaintDeftone]

I signed up. I've used Spotify for years but only the free desktop PC version. Always wanted to try Premium out so I'd say now is the time to do it.

If you love music and social media, Spotify is fantastic.

 

[jstripes]

The Canadian version of this deal isn't quite as good:

Buy one month for $9.99, get two free months.

 

[RBK]

Only thing holding back is the chance of auto-renewal, otherwise I'm in.

 

[Blearth]

Is there a way to hide all censored versions? If not, that's a deal breaker as I listen to like 90% rap.

 

[blame space]

Audio quality isn't great. Whatever, it's a dollar. Maybe I'll use it.

 

[op_ivy]

whats the difference between the free version and sub model?

 

[dani_dc]

€ 9,99 over here. What a scam, lol.

Says €0.99 here in Portugal.

 

[NYCmetsfan]

whats the difference between the free version and sub model?

No ads, mobile access and higher quality music

 

[Lambtron]

Audio quality isn't great. Whatever, it's a dollar. Maybe I'll use it.

You can adjust to 320 kbps on Premium, both for the stream and for songs you sync to play offline.

 

[Noema]

No ads, mobile access and higher quality music

Also Premium lets you download albums or playlist for offline listening which is essential for people like me with limited data plans.

My commute would be miserable without Spotify so I truly recommend this to everyone. I listen to more music now than at any previous point in my life.

What do you mean by mobile access?
