1) one account - spotify We aren't missing individual playlists for user, its myself & my girlfriend and she will just listen to what I set up - spotify usage is mainly me listening to new albums before I buy, playlist wise its local music and smart/dynamic playlists that are used 95% of the time Dream system for me would be able to link online/local music more in terms of music discovery, so if I'd had a few Josh Rouse albums in my local library it would aggregate his online & local music and also alert me when he had a new album or single out rather then me always having to review websites/magazines etc. for new music ------------------------------------------------------------------------ socistep's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18860 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98198 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
