It's awesome! I've become a premium subscriber in order to use it, and now I have removed most of my itunes tracks off my iphone so that I can download more Spotify tracks. Now itunes is just good for keeping my non spotify tracks - ie AC/DC, Led Zep, Pink Floyd and The Beatles.

Well worth every penny/nickle/dime/whatever!

Running it in the background on my 3Gs while writing this on that same device. Using "backgrounder" to enable it to multitask it is simultaneously wirelessly syncing a couple of hundred songs while streaming non synced music to my bluetooth headset.

This is definitely the start of a new era in portable music. Well done Spotify!

Apparently there is still some stuttering while streaming on 3G in many areas.

PS Works in Ireland, but you have to download the app from UK iTunes store.

The app works a treat. Only gripe is it cannot play in the background while browsing or carrying out other tasks (not a surprise, but it would be nice).

It is renting music. It will take me some getting used to, but I think for the price of one CD per month, 4 million tracks is worth it. I'm confident that if this service dies, there will be a replacement.

I don't see me using this even if it was available in the US.

I can use Pandora to try out new music. I can use Last.FM or DI.FM to sample genres.

I don't rent music. I refuse to rent music.

Save your money and buy the songs or rip your CDs.

This sounds awesome but it's too bad it's not availible in the US. Hopefully we will have Rhapsody soon in the US.

Works just like the video. Litterally instant syncing of playlists and the quality of the music is much better than any other streaming app.

Just knocked Last.fm of my dock i think!

In offline mode it's similar to an iPod. I'm pleasantly surprised they allowed this app. I wish they would allow the free version to be used with the app though.

It's brilliant almost instant on 3g and wifi and about 5 second wait on edge. Offline works well too and downloads the songs fast. Well worth the subscription
