I can’t get enough of this nice music service, so today I installed Wine for Ubuntu in order to run Spotify on my Linux laptop as well. I also installed some new speakers for my computer, Lacie’s new USB speakers.
The speakers really look good on my white desk and the sounds is great. I tried to install them on my girlfriends computer as well but I didn’t manage, Windows got some kind of conflict with the USB port… Crap XP.
Does anyone have a good party playlist for Spotify? If so give me a comment about it so I can add it.

I’ve been using the music streaming service Spotify for a while now, I wrote about it last summer when we tested the service at our office. Or actually it’s my girlfriend that’s been using it the most, since I haven’t gotten it to work on my Linux system. I know it suppose to work under Wine, and I haven’t added that much time to fix it since Linda play the music from here Windows machine instead.
Spotify is the shit when it comes to stream music, but for people like me that don’t know that much music I’ve used recommending engines on Last.fm and latelly in iTunes to find good music. But it hasn’t been satisfying because I don’t really know that many songs or artists.
Today I found a great service, Listiply, that fans of Spotify can use to share their playlists. When I looked around I found another service (Spotify friends) for it as well, but that one wasn’t as great as the first. Don’t know why, I guess it’s a mather of design that I like. The two services ofter the same functionality. So now I can continue to listen to great music without learning the actual songs or artists name. (I can focus on other things in my head)
