But Spotify enables a sizable cache on your local drive (default is 10% of disk space), so what has been downloaded, if cache not exceeded, is not downloaded twice. jas > Every downloaded bit counts as downloading.

Does anyone know if streaming music in this way will count against my download cap per my broadband contract or not. Friends have given me mixed messages. If it does I could be hit with a big bill as I have it on all the time!!?? Spotify is great – using it all the time.

Would I prefer possessing an old car or having the only usufruct of a Ferrari? I think the concept of Spotify is getting me to wonder on the very nature of enjoyment, that of pleasure without possession. Perhaps a slightly naive way of expressing it, moreover English not being my mother-tongue.

What use I did get was nice, it's pretty cool. No Metallica to be found on it at all though (their new "openness" be damned), which I found to be pretty funny. Signed up via proxy and invited some friends. That party didn't last long, lol. Had this in the states for all of a week before they realized I’m not a brit.
