As I write this blog, I’m listening to She & Him’s obscure single I Can Hear Music on Spotify. I’ve also discovered and reconnected with other music as well, such as 90’s alternative-rock from my childhood and albums I’ve been wanting to listen to for a while now, such as Patrick Stump’s Soul Punk.
After getting a Spotify account, I can honestly say I’m an addict. One may ask how someone can be addicted to simply listening to music on the computer. I still haven’t quite figured it out, to be honest. But with Spotify, you’re always wanting more. I constantly find myself browsing albums I’ve been planning on listening to, stumbling upon new artists or browsing the 90’s radio station. With each new find, I think to myself, “I’m glad I have Spotify.”
Another interesting feature with Spotify is that you can easily see what your friends are listening to. It’s convenient to be able to find out what everyone else is listening to and is connected with Facebook to ensure that you can easily share your music to everyone, not just other Spotify users.
Many of my friends and family are skeptical. They don’t understand the general purpose of Spotify. To all of those who wonder why they need to get Spotify: I don’t know about you, but every time I hear a song that I love, it makes me a little bit happier. Same with finding old music from when I was a kid. Wouldn’t it be great to have all that music in one place, no purchase or 90-second demos.
So what are you waiting for?
