Spotify + sharemyplaylists.com = good

I’ve not been a huge fan of Spotify. I can’t put my finger on why not. I love the idea. I quite like the interface and things. I’ve even come to terms with Jonathan and his ads.

I think that my problem is that I can’t find the music I want. Faced with an empty search box (when I know the results are going to be quite mainstream) my mind just goes blank. And I end up listening to things that I hate, just because they pop into my head quickly.

But a couple of minutes round sharemyplaylists.com and I’ve found:

• The most sampled breakbeats ever – a great collection of funk, soul and more.
• A history of Detroit techno
• A bunch of mod scooter classics
• Celebrations of some of the most influential indie labels, like XL Recordings
• And of course some whomping trance classics

I’m hoping that this might open up the floodgates to the world of Spotify for me.
