I'm a spotify geek. I've been using Spotify solidly for years (I'm British!) and thought I knew my way around the Spotify ecosystem very well but I still learned a bunch from this book.

Big respect to Jer for writing this - he's included all kinds of awesome guides that cover things like how to use the system, how to find new music as well as lists of hidden gems like standup comedy available or Sci-fi plays. I had no idea there was such depth in the Spotify catalog!

On top of this - there's a huge section on the wider Spotify ecosystem which goes into great detail about all the 3rd party apps, hacks, widgets and websites that will help you find music, share music, browse new artists and much more.

If you're into Spotify this is an awesome read.

It's a book of required reading for those who love Spotify.
It's a very useful guide that explores deeper the world of Spotify, with it we can learn the inner working, some tricks and it gives useful tips to organize the playlists.
It compares the different options you have in the streaming music sector, lists the external resources to Spotify, and actually it lets you understand why Spotify it's succeeding in United States.

A very special book with many use hints and tips about Spotiy. The book also contains reviews of other apps, websites and other resources that are very useful if you use Spotify a lot. I also love all the quirks about Spotify that you won't find anywhere else.

It's a very good buy, especially at this low price.
