Some great news hit the Official Pink Floyd Facebook page late last night: Pink Floyd are finally arriving on Spotify.
The band were one of the few high profile bands who were notable absentees from the music streaming service, and since its launch, Floyd fans have been clamouring for their music to be available on it. In a slight, and typically Floydian, twist, the music isn't available in its entirety - yet. The track Wish You Were Here has been made streamable, and once it has been streamed a million times, the entire catalogue will be available on the service. Here's the link to the track: http://spoti.fi/WishUWereHere.
Spotify has over 24 million active users, and the service allows you to listen to anything in their vast catalogue of songs on demand, and also makes suggestions of music to listen to. There are two levels of membership - a free, ad-supported level, and a premium level which has a monthly fee. We know that many Floyd fans will be delighted with this news; despite already owning most if not all the Floyd's catalogue, Spotify brings convenience of playing tracks that take your fancy, without having to find the CD in your collection.
