Spotify

As this concept was mentioned several times during my travels, I think that everyone should be in the know about it. Spotify is a free, online music site that lets you build playlists to stream as much music as you'd like. (mind you, the files are not 'for keeps'). It's really a fantastic idea..a custom radio of sorts. There's also going to be some sort of app for compatible phones that lets you carry the Spotify service with you anywhere.

Unfortunately, this is not yet available in the US because of copyright law and general greed of record labels who refuse to accept that there is simply no profit in sale of recorded music any longer.

If you are an international reader, perhaps it's available for you.
