(Edit: “daniel” sent me an invite. I’m not sure who you are, but many thanks!)

I wonder if Spotify is as cool as it sounds like. If only I had an invitation so I could try it out *hint* *hint*. Now when we in Europe can’t listen to Pandora, there’s definitely room for something new and Spotify looks like it could fill that spot and more (the social part, that Pandora doesn’t really have). From what I’ve heard (in Swedish) about Spotify, it at least sounds like a cool product, even though the social parts are apparently missing right now in beta.

I tired Pandora for a month or so back when it was brand new, but I didn’t like it that much. I often want to listen to a particular artist and only that artist for some time and that’s something you can’t do with Pandora, or last.fm for that matter. That’s why this quote

made Spotify interesting to me. I’ve just recently started using last.fm, but not mainly for listening to music, and I like the social idea about it (though I have to admit that I don’t use it a lot yet) and like David wrote, it gives you an idea about what you can do – what Spotify could do.
