My Spotify work-around
Maybe you've heard of the new peer-to-peer steaming music service Spotify? Maybe not, since it originated in the UK and is not currently available in the US -- unless you use this simple work-around.
- Edit your Firefox/IE settings to use a Proxy. [instructions] Use this IP: 213.175.207.199, and this Port: 80
- Go to this URL: https://www.spotify.com/en/get-started/ If you see an invitation code page, the proxy is not working correctly, and you'll need to find another UK proxy.
- Fill out the form, selecting a username, password, etc. Select UNITED KINGDOM as your Country and use this as your Postal Code: EH15 2JJ
- Once the account is created, you can download the client to stream & search for just about any music or artist you want. Oh, and it works for Mac & PC.
Here are some screenshots of the lightweight client in action:
