I'm on 3 months for 99 cents while I decide whether to keep Rhapsody or switch to Spotify, but so far I am not feeling it with Spotify. I just can't get into the LMS user interface for navigating Spotify (using Triode's plugin)... how do I browse by Genre? How do you find new releases (whole albums, not just tracks)? I hate that items I add to my library can only be browsed by whether I added them under artists, album or track. (In Rhapsody, everything you save is in one Library and you can find it going to either albums, or artists, or tracks, or--my favorite--New Music.) I also find the radio stations quite sucky.
I mostly use streaming music for discovery. I like to browse new releases to see if there's anything new from bands I already like. I look through related artists from artists I like to sample stuff, and I look up artists to sample from Last.fm's recommendations. Sometimes I listen to radio channels (Slacker still rules for that but Rhapsody channels are still so much better than what I have found on Spotify). I'm generally not much of a playlist person. I want to give it a fair chance, so let me hear your suggestions for making the most of Spotify.
