Ratings and reviews

Not sure about all the hate on here. There ARE a lot of people who are NOT as tech savvy as those writing all the abuse here. Not everyone has been born with a smart phone/tablet/whatever in their hand, especially anyone born before 1995. The "you suck if you cant use an app on a smart phone" generation have really missed out on a lot of general life experience.

Before I read this book I had no idea what I was doing with my life. it's about time a company released a simple and helpful guide on how to safely stream and listen to music. by far my favorite 'how to' book I have ever read. a masterpiece, I felt as if the inventor of the cybernet himself was speaking to me. this book improved not only my life but my school life, marriage, and the lives of my colleagues. I feel safer now that I have comfort in the thought that I can sleep at night and use Spotify

So wow, b4 this book I was paying for spotify but didn't know how to use it. Chapter one covers downloading, chapter two covers how to press play. Hopefully there is a chapter on pausing and closing the app because I've just left it running for the past two weeks. Great read though. Best 14 bucks of my life. Do your self a favor and buy this book, you'll be letting songs play on an intuitive app in no time!
