    Don’t Pay for Spotify when you can get Pete Tong’s Tracklistings here 🙂

    Spotify is Probably Great for Everything Else 🙂

    Try it with Pete Tong!

    Great idea in theory, but in practice it returns very few of the tracks played, 9 of 33 that Tong played. I hope this improves, but it might prove hard for spotify to licence upfront tracks in time. Things may change in time, but its great to have the mechanism in place now.

    I also really like the collaborative playlist feature of spotify, bbc 6 music use it for their Now Playing playlists where they ask listeners, usually via facebook, to add their favourite tunes for a particular artist or theme, like bjork or depeche mode:
    Now Playing – Bjork
    Now Playing – Depeche Mode

    Could start one for the blog/forum?

    Emma – you dont need to pay for spotify – that britify thing works with my free/open version of spotify. The idea is not just to get tracklists, but rather to be able to play the music played in full in a easy process, when you want.

    Cool :cool:; Thank You Haroon 🙂
    I had No Idea that there was a Free Version of Spotify; I will look it up then; but I have to Sign up before I can look at the Links you gave including ‘Bjork’; but whatever you are Suggesting it sounds like a Great Idea to me; Especially as I have Tons of Bjork Music 🙂
    Let me know what you see under these Links and I will Certainly Contribute to whatever is under those Links if you think it would be Good for the Forum 🙂

    What you see is a playlist, with tracks added by different users. The playlist was then aired on a particular show, which has now gone anyway. The point of my sharing those playlist was to show a couple of example of collaborative playlists. I think its a handy tool, as DJ’s I guess we are all keen to share our music and like wise our friends with us. So now instead of sending youtube links to music to my friends via facebook/email we can add tunes to shared playlists – awesome I think!
