    Ah, I see.


    Catch #2 = No Beatles. But after the apple malarkey I'm not surprised
    yeah. the message is not too much of an issue really. less than a minute per hour i think. the only beatles you can find is from across the universe, so not like the originals lol. still a pretty good library for free though. I think for anyone that has ever used youtube to listen to music rather than download it, spotify is a top piece of software.

    A huge library indeed. I've been trying to catch it out, but nearly everything I search returns results

    Best website I have found is:

    http://listen.grooveshark.com/

    It lets you choose any song, and play it. Browser based so don't ned to install anything, don't even have to sign up. Its the best I have found anyhow.

    I'm impressed with Spotify, although I did catch it out with a few jazz artists. I was surprised with the amount of classical on there though.
