Anyone used this?

http://www.spotify.com

Instant access to literally thousands of songs to listen to in full.. No buffering.. An audio advert plays every half an hour or so and thats about it.

Quite a nice itunes-esque interface.

Ive not searched for something yet that its not found.

Was gonna say "no buffering" is a bit of a bold statement.

Yeah, but what if someone was using 56k modem? Surely it can't just be "no buffering". All streaming sites buffer in one way or another don't they? This one might just have particularly fast servers.

no buffering isnt that bold of a statement really.

depends what format its streamed in and what quality but even a 128kb mp3 file is only what 3-4mb long, thats not a great ammount by standard broadband really.

56k will obviously struggle but who uses that anymore :/
