Spotify vs. iTunes - The Showdown

[Runescapian1996]

How do I use Spotify to put songs on my iPod

[MrJarskaaja]

Too bad you must have facebook to use spotify... i was interested until the sign up page told me to register to facebook

[ahalabi777]

@MrJarskaaja yeah but who doesnt have facebook

[tinasheroy]

@MrJarskaaja you do know facebook is free right?? lol

[ronaldjdevries]

Only available for Windows and Mac :(

[Joeaho]

@ronaldjdevries Rhapsody.

[Joeaho]

@ronaldjdevries Rdio.

[Joeaho]

@ronaldjdevries MOG.

[nhwdk]

Nice job comparing the music features but its important to note that iTunes includes iTunes University and other features that go well beyond just music. I have both and regularly use both. Each is praiseworthy. It would be a mistake to look at this as an either/or proposition.

[Joeaho]

@atlupload Since I posted that I use Napster on my Galaxy Nexus.

[CMue122]

Apples gonna sue...

[kezzalfc09]

all spotifys songs are free to listen to so beat that itunes!!!

[hydt1rs]

Only reason why itunes has more songs is because greedy bands like Metallica (still awesome) Denies their music to be on spotify because they get less money

[jibtazzle]

Ok review. Some stupid points but mostly O.K.

[mamidoify]

@Joeaho Dude get with the times :/ it is on iphone

[skeddles]

Why would you want to listen to ads?

[officialDJtechfire]

spotify rocks

[keeshond5]

That's 120$ a year.. Hmm Ill just stick to downloading music the "other" way.

[AtlUpload]

@keeshond5 I get about 30 albums a year, I think I'll stick with Spotify

[hamza28ful]

spotfly best !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

[Ograws]

RIP iTunes

[thihihihihihihi]

Spotify launched in Sweden, and what do you mean with "already really popular in europe" It recently launched in US...

[brocko202]

brocko202 is my spotify

[mbriedis]

I like grooveshark...

[djmikeuk]

Spotify best thing since the invention of music

[Zarrell]

Spotify is the best Swedish innovation that has happened to music since the Pirate Bay! lol

[lumydixon]

freespotifyinvite com

[zammel89]

Its like the only ipod that has every song in the world!

[TAukland]

Making that playlist in the end of the video public would just make one of the songs available for others. The rest of the songs are local files on your mac that are not linked to the same songs in the Spotify database.

[victordasdsa]

SWEDISH INVENTION FTW

[EricMwizerwa]

I am from Finland and i love spotify cause ITUNES sucks

what i love about spotify is That i can play music offline on my iphone

find top100 music easy by subscribing to spotify top100 playlist WHICH is the greatest thing that make spotify to be spotify

[ReefBear]

I just wish Spotify adds a full album view, like I was used to in iTunes. Or at least remembers that I had album art enabled when I'm looking through my playlists.

[kalahan20]

spotify is better



[moguttagame]

Play "Mo Gutta Game" on Spotify!! Everybody else is...

[billchase2]

Great comparison. Thanks!

[Iamjohntheone]

Also, I have invites if you want them.

[Iamjohntheone]

Far superior than iTunes, £1.25 a week for 15 million tunes, played instantly at high quality, I'd be an idiot not to take up that amazing offer. I've also tried the mobile version, which is brilliant, you can just dump 3,333 (strange number I know) songs on your phone via WiFi (offline mode) and be set for the month, for near next to no moolah, what so ever..........................­.. Brilliant!

[teague2013]

You can't take music from spotify and put it on your ipod! Spotify is streaming on your computer and phone only. I just wasted 10 bucks to figure that out.

[theultimativgamer]

@teague2013

u can :)

[victordasdsa]

@teague2013 U can just use offline playlists..

[fxx1ppo]

That really helped a lot but my question is (How can I drag my songs to my ipod?) I've been dealing with this ever since Friday. :/

Any help please?

I have the songs that I wanted but I just need to find a way to drag my songs to my ipod, that's all I need to do.

[pickle430]

Spotify is awesome but, I just dont know how to set which artwork I want for a song... anyone know how?

[mrpatton1010]

Great Job on your comparison ..,,

[AppleGenius0921]

@mrpatton1010 Thanks!

[mardfet]

Ten dollars will get you seven songs on iTunes, maybe 8. $10 at Spotify gives you access to almost every song. Hmmm...

[MrDjru31az]

@mardfet but aren't you paying just to stream song?? not to download and keep

[TAukland]

@mardfet But you don't own permanent copies of the songs. That's the difference...

[LightlyFried]

@mardfet I ain't paid jack SHIT and i have thousands of songs on my itunes library hmmmmmmm.....

[tinyman5]

@LightlyFried Yea, but we were talking about LEGAL way of getting music..

[Clambercty]

@LightlyFried How?

[dizrokwel]

i pay the 9.99 a month and still it stops working when my phone is in a deadspot. i thought it was supposed to even work offline

[RayWillliamJohnnsonn]

@dizrokwel your a dumbass

[dizrokwel]

@RayWillliamJohnnsonn thanks. that was helpful.



[RayWillliamJohnnsonn]

@dizrokwel your welcome!

[goawaiii]

@dizrokwel you need to put the playlist as an Offline playlist to make it work without connection.

[Hjernespreng]

@dizrokwel

You have to put your playlist in offline mode in order to listen to it offline.

You'll have to do it on your phone too. Then it'll work.

[megomw2]

@dizrokwel you have to make a offline playlist if you press the playlist then it says offline in the top right

[nattbrygd]

Yeally, look people. If you have not tried using spotify or owned it, get it. It is incredebly fast and i fucking LOVE it! You can listen to Whatever you want and you don't have to do a load of crap. Its easy as taking a shit and it has a very very nice look. Get it and love it, i know you will. I tried itunes before i could say it sucked

[pintsizedsixfooter]

Apple is going to sue them for their interface..watch it happen.



[LeoSeysRawr]

Just wondering.. i want to get the music on my iPod but i cant some how :/...

[HistoryMaker91]

grooveshark is better than both of these.

[nattbrygd]

@HistoryMaker91 Ohohohohohohohoh Hell no! It's slow and disgusting!

[Joeaho]

@HistoryMaker91 Yes, but it isn't on iPhone.

[AtlUpload]

@Joeaho Why would you ever buy an iPhone?

[Talibyzd16]

chastinb is my username. Hit me up.

[shezcrafti]

Been using Spotify for a couple of weeks now; totally in love with it. I've actually decided to ditch iTunes & switch to Spotify for good for my music needs.

[tankus12]

do you need the app to hear the music or you can just sync it with a click and drag to your itunes screen because i am just freckin out

[pplayer666]

@averagejoeFTW what a retarded comment...

[alden009]

Spotify or itunes? Whatever you choose, you'll gonna spend a lot.

[joakim2k10]

@alden009 Not really. Spotify is in many ways a communistic method of buying music; everyone puts in a share of either five or ten dollars a month, and by that can listen to almost all music. It's surely the future way of doing it. I don't think you spend a lot by paying five or ten dollars a month for unlimited music in a library of 15 million different songs. Imagine how much you'd pay for those songs in iTunes.

[averagejoeFTW]

Spotify isn't for everyone

I like it because it's $10.00 instead of having to buy each song that I want, yes there is vevo but it's not seamless like spotify

If you don't like to listen to music that often don't get spotify, simple as that

[everwood989]

Spotify is just an upgraded, better version of Pandora.

[ZetaSimsoy]

I like to own my music :/ i guess for discovering new music or for holding my iTunes library it will be good.

[an24252]

@WakkoXtreme go to spotify. and submit your email to get invited

[jesust1993]

i can't wait for Lion! i really hope it does launch tomorrow!

[qwasdeyx]

ok spotify can load musice on ipod but for it to be usable it cost money while itunes is free

[qwasdeyx]

why to pay for spotify if you just simply want to listen to music which you have. most people any download music now days. and if you have an ipad or iphone than itunes is your free deal.

[renegade8164]

I've been using Spotify since 2008... :)

[mcmanus1806]

i tunes sucks ass, always updates for no reason, fucks up. you cant put songs from your ipod onto it, its like listening to music, but imprisoned, theres no freedom with itunes, Apple is just overpriced bullshit now, i mean they bring out the MP3 ipod touch and its music quality is shit compared to other cheaper models, same with the iphone and especially the laptops and computers OMG so over priced for what they are, have fun paying out alot of money all of you apple fans :) !!!

[Niterunner144]

@mcmanus1806 Dude i completely agree with you! The Mac computers aren't bad, but Itunes really sucks hard. Just like you said, no freedom at all. I hate it. I cant sync my ipod to a different computer without erasing everything on it! Sucks.

[Athos523]

I forgot about Ping.

[xXZachintoshXx]

i think ill stay with itunes... i doubt itll ever really launch because theres no apps, everyone loves apps, and its just better all in one place. ( Plus i love apple)

[DJTmaq]

The only thing i like about Spotiy is how you "stream" play the whole song. But, i don't like the cloud tech.

[USConnexion]

iTunes

[bigwev101]

not impressed Ill stick with i tunes

[FoodGuideTV]

@bigwev101 why? You can´t hear full song if you not pay?

[Applefanatic1984]

Spotify is shit now since it went to the US... now in the UK we only get to listen to 10 hours which is Bullshit....

[emirozmen]

Used Spotify for months, after I got the taste of it I switched to iTunes

[M4XLaHax]

As being a Swede i must say ill stick with Spotify!

[najma50000]

@M4XLaHax jag håller med! :) fast jag använder iTunes föratt spara mina apps :)

[marsumax]

I think I'll just stay with iTunes!

[JoeAsla]

Yahoo !!!
