Spotify – the story from Spotify on Vimeo.

Spotify has made great progress and yesterday announced that they have signed deals with several companies including Universal Music Group, Sony BMG, EMI Music, Warner Music Group, Merlin, The Orchard and Bonnier Amigo.

You can now get Spotify Premium or a Day-pass. At the same time they are starting to give out invites to the free service that is supported by ads.

I’ve had the benefit of using Spotify while it was in beta-testing and it’s really a great service. The premium service is priced at 99 SEK per month and the day-pass (24 hrs) is 9 SEK. Totally worth it!

I installed Google Notifier for Mac today. I know, it’s not brand new (I think), but it’s really useful. I can see new e-mail and get snippets from that e-mail directly from the menu. When you choose Compose e-mail you actually use the Mail app or you can set it to your preferred e-mail app. There’s a demo video on the page where you get it. Useful tool to go with Gmail!
