No you donโ€™t.

You can listen to Spotify for free on both mobile and desktop (i assume you have to create an account).

But like youtube, the free version includes ads and has reduced functionality (eg limited skips and shuffle-only playback on mobile).

The sound quality is not as good on free either (it's now 'lossless' on premium subscriptions, meaning Spotify no longer lags behind Tidal for sound quality - lossless is better sound quality than both vinyl and cd).

In any case, I didn't create a playlist for rjay alone. So not sure why it's an issue rjay doesn't have a Spotify account, or why it was nessesary to make that point.

By the by having to endure ads means, like 'free to air' TV, YouTube and free spotify is not actually free.

    I run an adblocker (free to download), so I never see ads on Youtube or other sites that I frequent.

    I wasn't trying to be smart before 'bin'.

    I didn't know you could listen to Spotify for free, I thought it was a paid model like Apple Music which I do have.

    "In any case, I didn't create a playlist for rjay alone. So not sure why it's an issue rjay doesn't have a Spotify account, or why it was nessesary to make that point."

    I was actually interested in listening and not saying you had to create a playlist for me or anything like that.

    My point was it's a pity I can't hear it.

    AC/DC were magnificent at the G. Went to the Wednesday.

    Gave Pop Will Eat Itself a good burst in the car today.

    This band is no more, but the keyboard player is my hairdresser.

    I suppose this is going back in time...and maybe I'm getting old but I don't really care.

    Can you imagine being at the Mathew Flinders Hotel in 1975, one of the great pub rock venues.

    Then these guys show up...I loved them then and still do.

    The look on the faces of the su...more p..s bogan brigade was priceless.

    They thought they (Enz) were a Bunch of po...ters.

    The clothes, the hair, the makeup, the dance, the music (kind of prog at this stage).

    It's probably the first time I had seen a Mellotron in Australia...to think a few years later some good Aussie lads would invent the Fairlight and that changed the face of music in the 80's.

    It was such a revelation and it still amazes me to think of it every time I here these songs.

    Split Enz pre Neil

    Cheers, I've been listening to Bongripper a lot this year, love the instrumental doom while I'm reading. Electric Wizard (mark 1) always a favourite obviously. Will give those others a go l.

    An incredible band. Brilliant songwriters, the Finn brothers both. Great hooks and melodies.

    I was too young to see them live. But i can only imagine the response at the Matthew Flinders hotel in in the mid seventies given the first time I went there in 1985 it was well and truly bogan central.

    It was an amazing thing to see 'bin', every time I hear these songs it takes me back there.

    The Matthew certainly was bogan central.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      Iโ€™ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we wonโ€™t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything youโ€™d like to ask or say below and weโ€™ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics youโ€™d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
