I already had an artist offer an invite, but I dont feel like reading through a bunch of shit to know whats better, I just want to know the basics of why it is or isnt better than itunes or even worth it. thanks though.

It's basically iTunes + Grooveshark.

pretty sure the two are uncomparable considering they have no similarities other than both being heavily involved with music & maybe minor music affairs (ktt) compared to heavy music affairs (spotify).

I mean, there's more to it than that when you get into mobile devices and whatnot. I'm not trying to undersell it, you just asked for the bare bones

I have spotify on my phone - the paid version. it's pretty sick bc you never have to dl music and you have access to 15 millionsongs. For me it's better than iTunes bc there's no maintenance or compulsive music hoarding required if youre an OCD person like that

I'm thinking about getting the premium version. Do you use it to store music on your phone also or just stream?

It's primary function is cloud storage which relieves you of the need to spend hard-drive space on your mobile device. You can store it though if you'd like and stream the overflow if your library is that large. It'd make sense.

I completely forgot that my "library" is still synced to the app. Here I was thinking I'd have to search for an album every time I wanted to listen to it, but in reality it would be just like finding the album on my iPod normally. Since my campus is completely wireless this sounds like a no brainer. And I guess if it doesn't work out I can always just cancel the subscription.

Since I'm not a Spotify salesman, I gotta remind you that your library sunk through spotify will not (most likely) be available through the iPod app. You'll have to be using the Spotify app's interface...one which I found a bit cluttered. But then again, I'm using Free and it's of no use to me right now. Everything else should be as planned though.

Im mad OCD about music hoarding, I use to have a 1tb external HD that had alottt of music on it, then I dropped it & it quit working.

Right, only the 3333 songs that they allow to be synced for offline use will actually be ON my iPod. But the rest I can access through my library in the Spotify app.
