Spotify - A World of Music (For Free)

Want to listen to all the latest music legally and for free?

Spotify is a peer-to-peer music streaming program that looks similar to iTunes. It allows for instant listening of over 6 million tracks with almost no buffering delay. It’s available for Windows, OS X and Linux (through WINE) and in the UK is 100% free.

Spotify has a wide range of music from all the major record labels. Music can be found by searching for artists, songs, albums or just keywords. You can create custom playlists that will be synchronised to your Spotify account, meaning if you install Spotify on multiple computers your music will automatically be available. Playlists can also be collaborative, allowing your friends to listen to your music and even add new songs to the playlist, all in real time.

To make Spotify free there are a couple of limitation, firstly it is not possible to save the songs or play them outside the Spotify application. Also Spotify has both audio and visual advertisements, however these ads are generally non-intrusive. For example audio ads only occur every 30 minuets of listening and are no longer then 15 seconds long; they will also never play during the middle of a song.
