Now, I’m a guy who likes to physically “have” his music, whether I’m purchasing a CD (yes, I know, I’m 80 and like my cds) or purchasing a digital copy, I like to know that the music is “mine”. If I put it on a device that that device is broken, stolen, dropping in a stream of lava (it could happen), then that music isn’t lost forever.

So, when I first got a Spotify account, I was not impressed. Why would I want music I couldn’t own? What good does that do me? Well, I guess I got my account when Spotify was beta-testing or something, but I jumped on a couple of nights ago, and whoa!!

The playlists alone to make me come back. So many songs, so many moods to choose from. If I don’t skip songs, I can listen for hours!
Please, if you are a Spotify user, I’d love to see your lists! My user name is aniowateacher (real original I know), so look me up and if you don’t mind, follow me!
And I’ll leave you with this: it’s been since the second week of January that we’ve had a true full week of school, with no late starts or early outs. This week will only add to that streak, we are two hours late for tomorrow morning.

I’ve been resistant to Spotify Premium for the cost, but I have a free acct. it is an amazing bank of music they have. One day when I don’t have so many monthlies, I’ll get it.

My thoughts exactly. Or if they offer an educational discount (chuckling softly to myself)……..

Do you play for your students? and do you have a favorite playlist?
I play Deep Focus. .. not sure on fave lists yet, though.

I do play this for my students. I’m finding I love to instruments. Right now, my favorites are pretty much all instrumental: Lofi Hop-Hop, Mellow Beats, sometimes Brain Food. I’ve not listened to Deep Focus, but can see where that might make my list. I’m listening to my “I Love 90’s Hip Hop” so there you go! 🙂

90s Hip Hop would be a trip for my kids – and me, thank you! .. and thanks for the list!

Can’t help with that Spotify thing. I listen to Pandora with the other old ladies.

LOL @ old ladies!
I listen to Pandora as well, this just offers some choices I’ve not had before. I’m old too, go get off my lawn! 😀
