    Oh God, music file format elitism. I rip my CDs at 192kbps and I don't care who knows. If I ripped at any larger or used lossless format I wouldn't be able to fit all my music on my laptop, and besides 95+% of the time I'm listening thru earphones, my laptop speakers or my computer speakers. They are all ****. So it's a bit pointless. I'm not going to blow what little money I have on supposedly better sound when I get enjoyment enough from the sound I have now anyway.

    Just found ohGr incidentally and he is awesome... Well, his last album is anyway. Wumpscut (edit: errrr, lol, TSR deletes their real name because it's wrapped in :'s) are ok but I get worried when listening to it that there's some white supremacist message that's going over my head because I don't know the language. An irrational and vaguely prejudicial fear but a fear nonetheless. Die Liebe is my fav.

    Another bugbear though: unless I'm missing something, there is no proper browsing feature. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

    I don't know what's the big deal about Spotify, bad library and bad quality!
    To be fair, Spotify has only really started getting on its feet. As popularity increases, the library will improve. :top:


    And I should have another playlist done over the weekend everyone. Don't know what to base it around currently, but I'm sure I can be inspired

    Clowns. Do a playlist based on clowns. You know it makes sense. Frightening and hideous clowns.

    I held out on getting this despite having been told to by my mates for weeks.
    And now I love it, so useful when you want to hear something and cba to download, yeah it doesn't have some stuff and yeah the adverts are annoying but its free so i'll live.

    Re: Spotify
    It's not very original, just a 'best of' playlist. I'm sure there'll be many more 'best of' playlists, but this one is "The Best Of Coldplay Playlist." The songs on there are all in my opinion, other Coldplay fans may disagree with me, but that's fine! Plenty of others could've gone, but I decided to keep it short.

    Here you go, and enjoy:

    Once again, let me know what you think.

    Gahh, I hate X&Y. :dry: I'd definitely put "A Rush of Blood To The Head" and "Politik" in there, and "We Never Change" and maybe "High Speed". And take Clocks and Yellow and In My Place and the X and Y tunes out.

    How could you miss out Politik!??!!?!///1?! :cry:

    I might do one myself now. :shifty:

    a)It's my opinion
    b)As I said, some songs deserve to go in there, but I left them out to give it some balance!

    Yet another Best Of playlist. This time, Kings of Leon

    Enjoy. And for those who ask for more from 'Only By The Night'....don't. The earlier ones are real gems. Unlike my other playlists, I've kept this in chronological order.
