Spotify - what the world needs

I should probably tell you that i don't get paid to run this blog. I'm just amazed by the ingeniousness of this program!

With the debate of piracy and illegal copying of files raging the world Spotify is exactly what the we need! Here you get access to an insane amount of music, i cannot even imagine how many tunes it holds, all browseable in a user friendly interface. On top of that all Artist, Albums and songs get their unique URL that can be shared between users just like i do in other posts on this blog. I can't imagine anyone wanting to go through the effort of downloading songs ever again when they're all always available to you. The only thing I'm waiting for now is to get this streaming into my BlackBerry Bold over 3G so that i get it portable as well!

Spotify comes in 2 major flavors. One that is for free containing commercials every now and then (not annoying though) and one that costs approximately $10/month. That's right $10/month for insane amounts of songs. It has signed with all the major record companies like Sony BMG, Universal, EMI, Warner Music etc. Pretty cool huh?
