Do you use Spotify? (UPDATES)

classicalmusicconfessions:

Good news: Spotify released a classical music app, Classify, about two weeks ago. You can read about the new apps here.

While it’s fantastic that Spotify is promoting classical music, the app only showcases a mere fraction of the immense repertoire available. Ever since I’ve joined Spotify (last summer), I’ve been keeping up with Spotify Classical Playlists. The blog is a great resource for finding classical music on Spotify. You can also add Spotify Classical to your People list so you can easily access the wonderfully curated playlists.  

Cheers, 
Jen  

^^ Remember this post I created about two weeks ago?

WELL, CLASSICAL PEEPS, I HAVE EXCITING NEWS: I found out that Spotify Classical / Ulysses’ Classical has released a Spotify App dedicated to the playlists from that blog. If you love the Spotify Classical blog, you should add the app to your sidebar. The app is great for a range of classical music fans, catering to anyone from a novice of the genre to a well-seasoned aficionado and, of course, everyone else in between (like yours truly): http://open.spotify.com/app/spotifyclassical
