Deal of the day: Spotify offers 3 months of Premium service for $10

spotify announces super summer music of

Spotify wants you to listen to as much music as possible during the dog days of summer. That’s why the music subscription service announced Super Summer of Music.

If you pay $10 before June 15, you will get three months of Spotify Premium. Premium brings several differences over the free version of Spotify, such as increased sound quality, the ability to save songs for offline listening, and no ads.

This promotion adds yet another note to the interesting last couple of weeks the company has had. In positive news, Spotify recently reached the 10 million paid subscriber mark, and while there are 40 million active users of the service, the company would like to have most of them as paid subscribers. In addition, Spotify made it easier to save your music for offline listening.

Unfortunately, a Spotify user’s account was compromised, leading Spotify to alert its users to change their passwords. In addition, the company issued an updated version of the Spotify app for Android, with no such update issued for iOS and Windows Phone.

How to convert your vinyl to a digital format
Rebirth of cool: Is vinyl ready for a second wind, or just a fad?

It doesn't matter one bit if your vinyl collection consists of just a single milk crate or if it fills several Ikea Kallax shelves and is slowly taking over your home — we can all agree that there's just something about vinyl.

Maybe it's the warm, uncompressed sound spinning off a solid turntable, or the feel of holding a physical piece of art in your hands while the record spins — it's a special experience that has regained much of its glory in a world dominated by digital streaming. The problem is, records are fragile, and crates full of them don't fit in your back pocket.
