I thought that was just a new music playlist created by Spotify. Didn't realise it was based off your own habits - that's excellent news

I thought the same until I actually bothered listening to it last week and realised it was tailored for me. I have quite a varied taste in music so the playlist is a bit all over the place.

Discover Weekly is reasonably good. It creates a playlist based on your listening habits.

Yeah, think there's a second series in the works too.

I'm not sure how to use Spotify. I've had the same 32 Gigs of music on my phone for a few years. Can I learn from what I have in storage or will I have to teach it or just let it find new stuff for me?

Are you asking me? With my wide-ranging use of modern apps and social media?

Don't know if it can learn anything from your existing music. But you can create your own playlists, listen to Spotify created playlists based off a song of your choice or listen to playlists created by other people or Spotify themselves.

I created a playlist last week using this site. You put a song in and it comes up with a playlist - press a few buttons and hey presto, the playlist is in your Spotify

No the offer has been around for a while. I just started a company so was able to transfer it last month.

The amount of music on it is amazing. The one thing that bugs me though is the playlists based off a song (think it's called stations). I'm finding their selections are pretty poor. iTunes Genesis (I think it was called) was brilliant at it. Spotify just lazily picks a load of other songs from the same artist and other tracks that are usually nothing like the selected track - they need to improve it

Yeah, I have a couple of play lists of my own and they give you suggestions for songs to add but most of them are just the same artist or completely random. Maybe it's one of those things where the more you use it the more accurate it gets?

Didn't know that. Is it a limited time offer with Vodafone? I'll go for that in March when the 99c offer runs out. I've only had it for the day but I've already decided I can't be without it now.

Jasis, Westworld was brutal boring. Like a ten and a half hour dentist appointment. No idea why I kept watching.

You can get it via Vodafone if you're with them for €5.99 p.m. I've just transferred it over to my work phone.

Upgraded to Spotify Premium today. They're doing 3 months for 99c. It's usually 9.99 per month. Seems good value. Being able to stream stuff offline and in the car is making my life better already.

Haven't had a problem with virgin since they took over, but I did switch back to the old box 2 weeks after getting horizon. The wifi range on it was pitiful. Did not like the cumbersome feel to the changing of channels either.

TICKLE_ME_ELMO

All the years they were NTL, UPC etc. I had to get them out once to give is a new box and that was only because my brother had filled the old DVR so much it basically shat itself and died. Since the switch to Virgin I've had to get two new TV boxes and every couple of weeks there's something wrong with the Internet.

Why would you want to set custom DNS?

If your ISPs DNS servers are down, you get no internet. However you can manually set the default DNS servers on your PC and they will take over.

No amount of DNS changing had fixed it here. Their routers really are the biggest sacks of ****e I've ever had to deal with. Bridge mode and a good router will be returning in my very near future.

My solution earlier will work.

Notice how I come with an actual solution, I do not punish you for not being networking experts who have failed to develop your own ISP infrastructure in your garage with parts you bought in powercity.

This is what sets me apart from people like Lord Nucifora. This is why I am a better person.

I'm tethering from my phone at the moment. I'm not going to start into my router settings tonight, I've got a small home server setup and invariably I'll end up breaking something and then have to re-learn how I set it up in the first place.
