I have been going about my business quite happily, listening to a bit of John Martyn on Spotify and enjoying it very much indeedie thank you. I loves a bit of Spotify, their music catalogue is enormous and I love thinking of a song and being able to hear l0 or so iterations, 5 of which may be by the original artist, then another 5 by pretenders to the crown, some of which are amazing. I then pick the version I like most and add it to my playlist. This is why Spotify is my music provider of choice.
About a 2weeks ago, my mate Andy @bencat was around and fiddled with my Imac, allowing it to play some flac files from harddrive without downloading said harddrive onto the imac therby overfilling the computers internal drive and rendering it useless. Anyhoo thinks me, ill have a listen to the same recording on Flac…since Andy has the patience of a Saint and did the business for me….Church with One Bell…Glorybox. Ayeaye, thinks I, that sounds a bit fruitier than normal. More….of everything! Wtf. Lets try a bit of Avalon, not listened to that for a bit but it used to be my recording of choice whenever I got new gear.. another wtf with an Omg. Lets try acouple more, 30 to be precise. Well its a completely different system that I am now listening to from two hours ago and pre-flac. Damn me to hell and back for not doing this sooner and damn you Spotify for lulling us all into a false sense of security. The sooner Spotify upgrade to flac or equivalent the better. In the meantime go f#£& yourself Spotify. I will still be using you……
