The only thing that im disappointed about so far though is that you cant play it on your phone/ipod/mobile device unless you pay for the subscription 
But thats a minor gripe i suppose
A minor gripe indeed! Pretend it's Netflix, charging you a subscription for streaming, only in Spotify's case, they don't charge you if you're at home, or the office, or on a laptop...
Keep in mind that what you're complaining about is lacking the ability to play most released music, anywhere you want, without paying for any of it, legally.

Yea, i know. i wasnt really trying to come off as complaining. Just disappointed, because i have very little money, and i stream music at work a lot, on my phone. I can still use Pandora for that. I just wish i had the option to use Spotify, for free, also. Even if it meant they played more ads, or had ads on the screen, or whatever.

And yes, I have it, and my favorite thing about it actually isn't the substantial selection (which does contain some glaring omissions), it's the sharing of playlists. If you connect it to Facebook, you can see your friends' playlists, and subscribe to them, and you can see public playlists that they've subscribed to, so you can subscribe to those, too. And if they're marked as open, you can contribute to them, so you can have a profoundly social listening experience.
It's pretty cool.
Yes, i love this feature. As I've played around in Spotify more and more tonight, this is one of the things that most impressed me.
I also like how it integrates your itunes library, so you can also play that from the same program

I have a premium subscription, and I think it's one of the most amazing products to hit the music industry. I think it's the way forward. While you're only paying £9.99 a month, it's GUARANTEED ... i.e.: I might buy one album and then not buy any more for another year ... but with Spotify, it's like they're getting the price of one album per month from every person. Might not seem like much, but with enough subscribers, it's a good solid incoming amount of cash.
I love it and while I still like to buy CD's because I like the covers, it lets me sample and listen to new music on a regular basis.... then perhaps buy tickets to gigs and merch off the back of that.
I'm a Virgin Media customer and next month or so I believe they're giving their customers ... and I quote "a substantially lower price than Spotify charge" 
So I'm looking forward to that
