How is the audio quality with Spodify? I use iTunes Radio all the time but, 
honestly there is a great deal of compression and/or low bit rate streaming in 
it. There is an obvious loss of audio quality.

No.  The app is simply called Spotify, and you need a Spotify Premium 
subscription to use it which currently costs £9.99 per month.  Free accounts 
are limited to the functionality you describe.

Hi all
I have no interest in the desktop client as it is inaccessible. I do 
however have the iOS app on my iPhone 4s and it's quite accessible. So 
am a Spotify user but only on the mobile platform. Just my £0.02 worth.

You are but it is a limmitation of the free account for Spotify. You 
need to either pay premium or if you have an iPad get the iPad app. You 
can then enjoy all the benefits of premium with the inclusion of ads 
every few songs.

Hello Randy and Joe, Spotify is not that accessible, as Joe rightly said,
you can type in what you want and then listen to things but you can't hear
the search results, however I did find that if you press the read line or
title bar hotkey, it will read out the song you are listening to. Also, you
can join Spotify without being invited, and the free service allows you to
listen to songs only 5 times and there is a time limit. They only recently
changed their free service. Spotify unlimited, which allows you to listen to
limitless songs without adds costs £4.99. I think an ap could be written for
Window-Eyes, and I'm not sure if there are scripts for Jaws available for
it.

Hello,

Spottify is a service by which you can listen to an almost limitless
selection of songs in a wide range of genras.  As far as I could tell,
there's no ability to listen to radio stations.

You can only join Spotify if someone who is already a member sends you an
invitation.  When you are accepted, there are two levels of entry.  The free
one gives you access to everything but there are ads.  I don't remember what
the fee is but it's worth it if you need to access lots of songs.

You are given an edit box in which you place your search term.  The problem
for me was that, having done that, I couldn't read the search results.  It
appears to me that the list generated from the search is printed in a non
ASCII form.
I hope someone finds a way around the access issue because it's a great
service.  No, you cannot download; you'd have to record the song.
