Edited to say sorted = my ipod is too old fashioned! It needed to be one you can download the spotify app to.

At least I can stop messing about with something that isn't going to work. Many thanks for all the advice people.



sorry if wrong section.


I have a spotify premium account, and am trying to copy a playlist to my ipod (which I should be able to do with the premium account) however when I try to copy the one playlist I want, it says I have to buy 70 tracks. Surely the whole point of spotify is that you don't have to buy all the tracks, as with itunes. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?


many thanks

you can subscribe to a straeming service monthly with millions of tracks and then download that as your own owned content via Itunes legally? don't sound likely at all it's not much of a business model for either Spotify or Itunes!


On a sort of related note, did the itunes match thing and though it took a while to upload and match my tracks I'm pretty impressed with it no worries on my music and all my compressed MP3s upgraded. Only issue I have is that it does download your selections or playlist back onto your ipad(if you are using that, so that's not really streaming) so you then have toi delete these or they sit there, but that's not the case through your PC/TV or Airplay enabled speakers.

I did the google play thing, it took 5 24hr days to upload my mp3s, sadly it wont upload lossless, which means every time I get a new album I have to rip it twice which is a bit annoying.

The iTunes match thing sounds more sensible.

It is useful at work for when I forget my ipod though.

    • Did you see my post above where iD suggested to someone else with your problems that it could be a sim or device issue? Why are you so sure it isn't your phone that has developed a fault? Phones can and do go wrong (reinstalling the app would not help if your phone itself is faulty). To test this out:  Have you tried your SIM card in somebody else's phone? If they don't have connection problems, then the fault is with your phone (though see below - your SIM card could be faulty, in which case this test wouldn't work). Have you tried somebody else's SIM card in your phone? If you still have the same connection problems, then the fault is with your phone. Both of those tests would tell you if the problem was with your phone rather than the network. Only if  the connection problems continued would the problem probably be with the iD network. Have you asked for another SIM card to try out (with the same phone number, obviously!) in case your SIM card has become faulty? Have you tried their live chat (link above) which they say can help with further troubleshooting? These things would be quite quick and easy to do, and could save you a lot of time and inconvenience changing providers!
    • In my case, internet doesn’t work even in London, incoming cals disconnect b4 u can even pick up calls!  Reinstalled ap & now even worse! Can however, access where I am regarding billing etc. Been with them 4 for years - been bad for over a year.. blamed my phone etc- lucky for me, can just change & leave, hopefully without any delay as only SIM pay as you go… Must be just unlucky….. would not recommend them now to anyone - if all else fails will just very very reluctantly ho to one of the big 4 & take a contract, which seems to have to be 4 two years or just might decide to not have a phone at all..            
    • Yes, my brother lived in that area and had to change to something other than Vodafone. He didn't just have a "weak" signal. He had no signal at all.
    • Apparently it is a very old and ill cat and about to be "euthanised"  - euphemism. My understanding is that it wasn't actually lost, just wandering around near its home as cats do, but people thought it was lost  because the poor thing looked so terrible. The owner was tracked down, but only after loads of posts from people trying to catch it and take it to various places for stray cats. I got my information from the "other" East Dulwich Forum, but I've got no reason to believe it isn't true. Irrelevant, but my partner and I once took a very thin and ill looking cat to Celia Hammond because it kept coming into my house for weeks and looked terrible,  and we (wrongly) assumed it had no home. That cat also turned out to have an owner. And yes it was ill, but being treated by a vet. It's lovely that people care about animals, but it's very easy to make mistakes like this. Having said which, many years ago when our  cat died, a couple of days later another cat started sitting  on our  doormat every day (three floors up in a Scottish tenement) and refused to leave, so eventually we took him in ......
