Created a Spotify account to listen to full tracks of music before deciding whether I should buy them, or if I even need to since the service streams the tracks. It also imports all my iTunes playlists. This fantastic service has been available in Europe for a while now and only recently finally came over to the U.S. As soon as I get my iPhone 5 I can start listening to music anywhere, anytime.

I’ve been using Spotify, too, and really like the fact that you can hear entire songs … great for deciding if you want to buy them … very useful for our dance class (sometimes a great song has a “weird” part, or an inconsistent tempo that can ruin a dance).
On the downside, the audio ads are pretty annoying, but I can usually turn down the volume until they return me to my playlist (a mute button would be nice). Also, people rave about their library; but I’ve already come up empty-handed several times when searching for songs. Overall, though, it’s a great service that I see as a kind of personalized radio station/music library.
