does anyone have a spare Spotify token?

:)

doesn't matter
I've got it working now
www.spotify.com/en/get-star...
wouldn't work before for some reason

That seems too good to be true. What's the catch?
Posted by che, around 5th January 2009:
 
I have yet to find the catch.
Perhaps they take your soul away at the end of the year?





(or maybe your jazz?)

Let us know when you do, there's a good chap.
Posted by che, around 6th January 2009:
 
There doesn't appear to be a catch as yet
Perhaps there will be one once they go out of Beta?
Posted by Grim..., around 7th January 2009:
 
Apparently there's adverts, but I haven't heard any yet.

no real catch as such -- but it's streaming only, not downloads (i've read)

it seems to stream instantly though which is nice, I have yet to encounter ANY buffering which is interesting.

I'm getting a bit sick of hearing Moira Stewart going on about tax returns every 10 tracks though :(

i havent had that one at all yet.
All i get is
"why not upgrade spotify"
"check out the new phone from someone or other"
and mainly "Hi, we're the energy saving trust"

i like the fact that there is a little counter which shows how long the ad has left to run which means you know when to unmute it.
