Listening to music online

Sometimes I find little gems on sites that I just have to share and this is one. It's called Spotify and it's a brilliant little application. What it does is it lets you search for music online and listen to it immediately. It's like having your own Radio station with all your favourite songs but no dj's talking over the top. It has the support of all the major record labels so that means it is a legal service too.

You can't keep the music just listen to it but it is free!

So click on this link if you want to give it a try. Make sure you get permission first.

Enjoy the weekend.
