Pros:
- It's free. There are 2 other pay by month options - $4.99 and $9.99. The cheaper option allows you to do everything the free version allows and gets rid of advertisements and you get unlimited streaming. The more expensive monthly option gives you everything from the other options plus putting Spotify on your mobile device (iPod Touch, iPad, and iPhone) and also gives you an off-line mode to use with your playlists.
- Lot's of classical pieces to use.
- Quick to use.
- Monthly fee to get all of the features.
I tried just the free version for a while and ended up getting the $9.99 version. Mostly to get rid of the advertisements and be able to use it on my iPhone. The ads really become a BIG issue when using it in school (even though they are only 30 seconds long). OOO, I almost forgot that you do get biographies of the artists as well. In fact, there is so much that Spotify does that this would be a very long entry.
Spotify also has it's own blog that you can check out.
Here's how you get it for free. You need to start an account and there are 2 ways to do it. You can like it on "Facebook" and then an email will be sent to you with a link to create an account or you can go to Spotify,com directly (you will need an invite from an current Spotify user for this to work). When you create your account you will receive 1 free invite to send to a friend.
