If youve got spotify already, then you upgrade through either the settings or through your library.
Cant remember which, or waitfor the advert to come on giving you 30free days on premium and click the link.

This month it was my birthday, so it gave me 2 months free trial on premium yippee!

The trouble is that o2 want a stupid amount from me to upgrade the gigs , have never really used it until now so i have only ever gone for 1 gig to keep the tariff low , so it might pay me to go premium and build the playlists as i say , i am assuming these playlist are working offline , if not im wasting my time and money ?
I'm so lazy I'm getting tired of it !

Yep, you can download them in your play list and listen off line and ad free.
You get thirty free days anyway so if you don't like it you can cancel before it expires and takes payment for the next month

I used to use wired earphones and listened to the radio or music I'd downloaded to my sd card, but I was going through the wires pretty quickly!!
I bought some Bluetooth headset and they've been excellent for accepting calls, listening to music, usually my own cd collections. BTW, if you like prog rock or a bit of psychedelic rock, check out : Assemble Head in Sunburst Sound.  ;D

i prefer talking to my customers or just enjoying the peace and quiet when working.ive hammered my hearing with clubbing,gigs and drumming when i was younger so the last thing i want to do is listen to music through headphones!now when i play drums (whether its rehearsing or gigging) i always wear ear protection these days.....

i have tried to listen to podcasts,radio,music etc when out and about before and i didnt like it.i like to be fully aware of my surroundings plus i like to chat to people(whether there customers or not!) :)

I would say 1gb is too low if you are streaming.
You will need at least 2gb +.
And turn off all unnecessary apps that are draining your data allowance.

I just put one earphone in Daz, so I can listen to music and still have a conversation when required.

I use these blue tooth headphones, so I can just have one in the ear and they are good for receiving calls etc as well. No wires getting in the way, allowing you to work freely and be aware of your surroundings etc. Or if a customers engages in conversation i can just pop it out of my ear to give full attention etc.
I find if i dont listen to music I have that much on my mind that I end up slowing down whilst I think about the many things occupying it

I don’t listen to anything while I’m working, I’m quite content being in my own little world.
Having said that I’d quite like to learn Spanish, so I’ll see what I can download.

I did a few tests on usage last week , I was using 60mb an hour on music , so i will get about 15 hours for the month with a Gig .
At the mo im just jumping between the 2 apps through the day and building playlists on the app that can be used offline , i reckon i will up the tariff to 3 Gig and that will more than cover me
