I realise this isn't just an Android thing, and also that people on here have probably been using it for a while but now it's officially available here

10 euro to stream to my phone? Nah.

Been using it for about 2 years, worth every penny

That's a bargain. For the price of 1 album a month you get to stream as much as your ears can handle.

I was tempted, but the reviews of the Android app were putting me off. Buggy, unsortable lists, vanishing tracks... might wait until it gets more stable.

Get an unlimited contract

It's possible to get Spotify contracts here where none of your Spotify streaming is used against your data allowance. They will probably also appear at some stage in Ireland as part of their marketing.

It's well worth it imo. I've all my music also stored in Google Music, but Spotify blows it out of the water. You have access to most new albums for the price of 1 album a month and you can download albums to your mobile for offline listening. Plus the app store is fantastic. Hook up your last.fm account to it and you will be discovering so much new music and there are also apps where you can say who is currently on tour or coming on tour to your area. I consider the €10 a bargain.

Galaxy S3 - 64gb SD Card - Download Free Albums.

Plenty of space

€10 a month, Not a Hope.

Use a US (or other country) proxy to sign up for the service, then sideload the Google Music APK and you're sorted.

Not at all. It's like they want us to be able to get it so they make it easy.

Thanks
To be fair I'd say they would love nothing more than to release it here, I hear they are finding our laws tough. Now to dig out the apk.

Wait you can download tracks too? Just reading this http://www.spotify.com/ie/about/features/offline-mode/ and if I'm not wrong, you can download up to 3,333 tracks to your iPhone so you can listen without streaming?

For a tenner a month that sounds insanely good value.
