I wanted to explore music by finding artists, groups, albums that I liked, purchase the media, and listen to it from my ripped version put to Google Play Music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a title=\"Playstation meet Spotify\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.us.playstation.com\/2015\/01\/28\/playstation-meet-spotify\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Then PlayStation announced PlayStation Music partnered with Spotify.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.spotify.com\/us\/playstation\" class=\"autohyperlink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">www.spotify.com\/us\/playstation<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>That was last week, and now I&#8217;m already a <a title=\"Spotify Premium\" href=\"https:\/\/www.spotify.com\/us\/premium\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Spotify Premium<\/a> member. You can Follow me on Spotify by clicking the follow button below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>. <iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: medium; overflow: hidden; --darkreader-inline-border-top: currentcolor; --darkreader-inline-border-right: currentcolor; --darkreader-inline-border-bottom: currentcolor; --darkreader-inline-border-left: currentcolor;\" src=\"https:\/\/embed.spotify.com\/follow\/1\/?uri=spotify:user:crazy-maisy&amp;size=basic&amp;theme=light\" width=\"200\" height=\"25\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was highly interested as I knew Spotify might be a game changer for me if I could listen ANYWHERE. Like computer, phone, tablet, PlayStation 3 or 4&#8230;. yes! My full change of heart came when I saw I could get mobile billing via Sprint, 6 months free, then 18 months of 7.99 per month &#8230; then 9.99 per month after that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I didn&#8217;t want to do anything like try it for 30 days. I needed to feel the freedom of either paying full price or as I am actually doing it, free for 6 months. With that out of the way I was able to settle in and instantly started to profit from my move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is so much music I love. There is so much music I&#8217;d love to have explored in the past, but didn&#8217;t. There are many artists I&#8217;ve loved songs by, but never looked at their other content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Everything is not on Spotify. I&#8217;m fine about the one gargantuan group not being there, I wouldn&#8217;t want to hear them. I&#8217;m sad that Tool isn&#8217;t on there. I&#8217;m sad that The Kaiser Chiefs 4th album isn&#8217;t on there for US Spotify users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve found a good amount of music wrongly tagged, so I prefer not to listen to it (I scrobble my listens and like to look at my listening data on Spotify and on last.fm, I want to track my listens and wrongly tagged stuff can wait until it&#8217;s tagged right, or never via Spotify.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One album I was really happy to listen to was T&#8217;Pau, as it was marketed in the US. I have the LP, loved it to pieces back then. On Spotify it&#8217;s the European version, knows as Bridge of Spies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/embed.spotify.com\/?uri=spotify:album:0pgH6EeGWQCf6PwhcWVw8w&amp;view=coverart\" width=\"300\" height=\"380\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That was last week. On Monday morning I turned on my phone to see what time it was when I woke up and had a message from Spotify splat in my face: T&#8217;Pau new album available Pleasure and Pain. Sweet! It&#8217;s a good album, love it, and what a surprise it was for me, not expecting anything like it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/embed.spotify.com\/?uri=spotify:album:1LnIZlwivZCueLo0AmTVuk\" width=\"300\" height=\"380\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The saddest part of Spotify is their FB linking. I can&#8217;t have a profile picture because I do not and will not use FB. I sure hope they change something about that, like maybe if I link Spotify to PlayStation Music, my PSN Avatar will link to my Spotify Profile. Fingers Crossed. I&#8217;d actually prefer to have Gravatars associated with it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spotify was something I wasn&#8217;t interested in.
