One of the cool things about it is that you can create playlists with your favourite songs and share them with everyone.

After using Spotify for a while and starting to use it as much as Last.fm (another great online radio) I have been creating several playlists of my favourite music genres. These playlists are alive, I am constantly adding new tracks I find interesting.

More Spotify playlists comming soon…

There are more playlists available but still with a few songs in it. Once they reach a decent amount of songs I’ll be publishing them.
