What a great piece of software. If your not using it already; download it now.

Spotify is basically an iTunes “clone” if you will (well the interface is at least), which allows you to stream full songs with almost no buffering delay. The tracks are in 160kbps OGG format; although if you upgrade to Premium you’ll hear everything in glorious 320kbps OGG.

Spotify is backed by major labels and is constantly adding new content (keep up with them via Facebook & Twitter).

So, you say – is it free? The answer would be – Yes! The only issue you’ll have with the free version is the bit rate will be limited to 160kbps and every few tracks you’ll hear 15 to 30 seconds (approx) of advertising. I’m willing to stick that given the consequences. It’s like listening to a radio station with ONLY the music you like; and hearing the odd advert now and then.

I know this post seems like I’m a Spotify salesman (haha), but I just love the software. It’s unbelievably easy to use and perfect for any music lover.

Sign up here and download here.

Oh; and the one last thing – you can create playlists of your favourite tracks which can be accessed wherever you go, and can even be shared with others.

To listen to my playlist (which is frequently updated); click here (this playlist will auto update for you when I add new content too!).

Woah time has really flown by!

Won’t overload with text so here’s some quick bullet points;

• Michael Jackson – Moonwalker “Let’s play” is on hold for a bit – I will definitely get around to finishing it soon though
• I’ve lost pretty much all hearing in one ear (sucks, but it’s being fixed – albeit very slowly)
• I’ve met up with old friends (long overdue, sorry guys) – and got a kitten (Ozzy)

• I’m looking for someone to go to Summer of Sonic with
• I’m dreading going back to university
• Loving Windows 7, it’s Vista – done right
• Disgusted at the price of DJ Hero
• Learning to cook more often (mmm stir fry)
• Is considering a PayPal donation button; which would go towards the ‘Kyle White Thai Bride Donation Fund’
• Left 4 Dead 2, Serious Sam HD and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 all look stunning (how they play however is another matter)
• Futurama cast have signed on for the all-new season on Comedy Central in 2010
• OMFG Pure Pwnage signed for a TV deal with showcase – will air in 2010

That’s about it really.

I’m still alive! (for those who read this blog! all 2 or 3 of you)
