Good job, Zuckerberg! Ever since the announcement was made, all of my networks and friends have been all over Spotify, sharing their music 24/7. New artists, albums, and even full-length play lists, such as this http://bit.ly/college101 . Can’t afford to miss out on THAT MUCH music if you consider yourself a music fan 🙂
