jreesegrangeway@gmail.com?15:19
jreesePaul_: just sent an invite to that address15:24
Paul_kk15:31
Paul_I guess that one will do to take a look;p15:31
Paul_where have you been lately?15:31
jreesework and side projects15:31
jreeseand house work15:32
darynjreese, got it, thx!15:38
jreeseyw15:38
Paul_whats spoitfy?15:38
daryni'd take a g+ too...15:38
jreesedaryn: sent15:39
darynok15:39
darynthx15:39
jreeseI already had your gmail :P15:39
darynk15:39
jreesenot quite sure how though15:39
jreeseit was just already in my google/voice account15:39
darynoh, wave15:40
jreeseah15:40
daryngotta use a vm to try spotify...no linux15:40
jreesethat makes sense now15:40
jreesedaryn: 15:40
jreesethey have a linux client15:40
jreeseit's been working pretty well on my ubuntu/gnome3 install15:40
darynya but only works for paid accounts.15:40
daryni thought i'd try before buying15:41
jreeseah, I just went ahead and bought premium because listening from my phone is my biggest use case15:41
daryni think i've finally converted to fedora...on 15 for about three weeks now.15:42
jreeseI've been using Pandora for over a year for that, but sometimes it's really nice to be able to pick and choose15:42
darynya15:42
jreeseyaeh, I've been using F15 on my home machine quite happily since April15:42
jreeseit was actually a *lot* easier to set up a custom package repo for yum than it was for ubuntu15:42
jreesebut my work machine has to be ubuntu15:43
jreeseso I just pulled in the gnome3 PPA for ubuntu because I can't stand unity15:43
Paul_whats spotify again?15:43
jreesehttps://www.spotify.com15:43
jreeseit's music streaming15:44
jreeseexcept unlike pandora you get to choose your own playlist15:44
daryni've created enough pandora stations and trained them so i mostly get what i want anyway15:45
darynit is nice to choose sometimes though. particularly when pandora doesn't seem to have the artist or song15:45
jreesesame here, but I also enjoy listening to certain albums as they were intended15:45
jreeseactually, my biggest complaint with Spotify is that they have almost none of the big 60s, 70s, and 80s rock artists15:46
darynhm...i thought they had everything15:46
jreesetheir selection of modern rock is fantastic though15:46
jreesedaryn: no Metallica, Led Zeppelin, Doors, only some of the Who, etc15:47
jreesewhere they don't have licenses, they do tend to have "tribute albums", but they just aren't the same15:47
jreeseI heard they're still working on finalizing a record deal with Warner15:48
darynic15:48
jreeseand there are some artists like Paul Oakenfold that are exclusive to premium subscriptions15:49
jreeseTool is another one that's missing15:49
jreeseok, I guess "almost none" is a bit of an exageration15:51
jreeseI'm just frustrated because some of my favorite bands are absent15:52
darynwell, without the four you listed...that is almost none15:52
jreesethey do have Jimi Hendrix, Tom Petty, and Eric Clapton though :P15:52
jreesealso missing Pink Floyd though15:53
darynyou have good taste in music15:53
jreesethe sad part is I was too young to enjoy them all when they were at their best15:53
jreeses/too young/not born/15:54
darynright...i was just pondering that15:54
jreeseI was born about two decades too late15:54
jreesealthough at least I can grow up enjoying some of the best modern rock, metal, and alternative too15:55
daryni had a chance to see SRV in Dallas and didn't get to go.  He died shortly after.  I was very unhappy.15:55
jreesedaryn: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7859496/Screenshots/2011-07-14-spotify-linux.png15:57
jreesedaryn: http://open.spotify.com/user/jreese/playlist/4zaG71Oq5oU392fmNmTjxe15:59
jreesethat doesn't include any of the one-off singles I starred15:59
jreesenot sure how that link works though...16:00
daryncool16:00
darynit asked to open spotify16:00
darynsays it's an album by jreese16:00
darynand do i want to subscribe16:00
jreese"Albums" is the name I gave to the playlist16:01
darynyeah so now it's in my playlists16:01
daryncool16:01
jreesehttp://open.spotify.com/user/jreese/playlist/7u5Uri6UnGx3p6PfxKftNx has my list of singles/starred songs16:03
jreesebiggest complaint I have about the client is a lack of smart/dynamic playlists16:03
jreesemost it can do is shuffle16:04
darynis there a way to import this link in the client?16:04
jreeseI think you can just paste it in the search box16:05
jreeseI did that with the paul oakenfold link from their blog and it worked fine16:05
darynah, cool16:05
jreeseI basically went through all my artist seeds and thumbed-up songs from Pandora and added whatever I could to my Spotify playlists :P16:07
jreesewas actually able to end with more from Spotify because I could actually see artists' entire libraries rather than having to wait for Pandora to decide to play that song16:08
jreeseand I was quite surprised, Spotify actually has built-in support for running it through a proxy16:08
jreeseand it works :P16:09
jreeseI might just have to buy my wife an account as well, save for the few artists Spotify doesn't have, I could basically stop storing and syncing 50 gigs of music to listen to from home16:10
jreeseSpotify will supposedly even sync with an ipod, although I have to figure out if that would actually allow me to sync songs that I don't "own" to the device16:11
jreeseesp since you can mark certain playlists as "available offline" and have it download and cache them locally16:12
daryni just noticed that too.  looked up an artist and voila, all the albums16:15
jreeseah, nvm, looks like you can only sync mp3s that you import from outside of spotify to your ipod16:15
jreese=\16:16
jreesehmm, could upgrade to an ipod touch and run the spotify client on it to cache music locally16:17
Paul_so is spotify free?16:18
jreesefor hte base account, yes16:18
jreesefree for ad-based listening on a PC, $5/mo for unlimited and ad-free listening on a PC, and $10/mo for unlimited ad-free on PC or mobile16:19
jreesealthough Spotify is actually UK based iirc, so the price will be differnt for you16:19
jreesedaryn: wow, you've lived all over the midwest16:24
darynya...that's not even all really16:34
daryni got tired of clicking16:34
darynand a couple of places i moved away and moved back16:34

jreesetime to see how spotify works on Fedora...17:15
darynworking great in virtualbox on fedora17:16
daryn:)17:16
jreesenot good enough :P17:16
jreeseinteresting, the side bar is structured differently than it was in thu Ubuntu build17:18
jreeseactually seems like a newer/better build tbh17:19
jreeseit makes sound, so I guess that means it works :P17:20
jreesethe volume slider in the app doesn't seem to do anything though, but I think that's probably due to it being built in Qt4 for Phonon instead of Pulseaudio17:20
jreesegood thing pulseaudio has its own per-application volume adjustment17:21
jreeseboo, no support for media keys...17:23
