A New Favorite Thing

 

 

Its funny what little things really get us excited. 

Well I stumbled upon this little gem yesterday and I am in LOVE!!

 

I have always preferred the radio over listening to albums.  Mainly for variety.  I get bored with the same sound over and over again.  So I have listened to Pandora and Iheart radio for years with my different playlists of exactly the stuff I want to listen to.  90's, kids stuff, and Sunday stuff mostly. :)

 

Well I would get frustrated in the car because my phone was always buffering and looking for a signal.  I prefer listening to my mix, especially since the girls are getting older and paying attention to lyrics more, over just the regular radio stations.

 

Now you may ask, well you could always purchase the stuff you like for an ipod or something.  Yeah, but that requires disposable money, which we never have nor could I justify it when I could just listen to stuff for free.

 

Enter spotify. 

 

It is like Pandora, iheart and Pinterest all in one.  You can follow your friends (who also have accounts) and watch their playlists as well as create your own.  And here's the best part, you can then download your playlists so you don't have to have an internet connection to listen to your favorite tunes.  And, its FREE.  Like Pandora it has adds (which makes it free) or you can pay $9.99 a month for add free.  I am in the initial 48 hour trial period so I have been downloading like crazy, don't know if adds will show up in the downloaded playlists once the trial is over.  I'll have to return and report in a day or two.  But for now, it is the greatest thing ever.
