    Thought it would be good for us to recommend music, post playlists and embrace in some music banter!

    Really? I would have probably shared some playlists if you didn't have that on the end :rolleyes:

    Just wondering, I've listened to so many songs and reached a 5 song limit on loads of them - how long does the limit last for until I can listen to them again?

    I really have to vent my frustration at Spotify. I've been subscribed since day 1 and got Premium the day they released the iPhone app. One problem. One HUGE problem though. They limit offline playlists to just THREE devices. WTF. I use Spotify on my MacBook Pro, Windows PC, iMac, 2 iPhones, 2 tablets, and iPod Touch. But every few days it will DELETE my offline playlists and I have to resync the lot. This is just beyond stupid - even iTunes allows you 5 computers and 10 mobile/tablet devices!

    I recently received an email from NUS saying that spotify is now only £4.99 a month with NUS discount, which i figured sounded amazing, but i'm just wondering whether it is actually worth it? I have an iphone so would probably download the app for that, but is spotify bad for receiving tracks if there is limited connectivity etc
    Sorry to bombard with questions, i just don't want to sign up for it and find it's a waste of money!
    Cheers x

    Of course limited connectivity will have an affect when streaming tracks. But the main reason to use Spotify on a mobile device is for offline playlists; make and sync the playlists when you have a good connection, then listen to them wherever you are with no problems at all.

    Even at regular price, I would still be happy to pay for it if I could afford it. So for £4.99 a month, definitely worth it!

    I was very happy to see the NUS deal. I happily pay for the full premium rate because it's worth it for me. But gotta love a discount!

    First world problem.

    On topic: I have recently rediscovered Grooveshark and love what's on there that isn't on Spotify, and things that I've played five times on Spotify and no longer allowed to play.

    That's crazy, what do you use all of the devices for? You must either be rich or be in a lot of debt!

    Looking in to upgrading to Spotify Premium for the iPhone use. My question is how much does it drain on the battery? I've got an old iPod Classic that I use at the moment but it would be nice to not have to carry two devices around.

    Spotify Premium is worth it with the NUS discount, £4.99/month for the first year.

    I got an NUS card last year then never picked it up. Probably have to buy a new card
