Spotify revived

There was a time when music was something you listened to by playing CDs. I was still in with the times back then. But the world moved on. I was ok; I got me an iPod. That went ok for a while until it became so old it turned obsolete. Later I even got me a Spotify account. I only listened on my computer, but that was ok. My phone wasn’t really up to these modern exploits (yes I tried). 

Then my Spotify suddenly stopped working. I don’t know why! On both my work computer and my private one I would only get an entirely black window. That’s no use. And with that I lost touch with the world of playing music as it sped away from me. 

Once every now and then I try to sort something out. At some point I just got me a cd player again. But that wasn’t quite it. 

I had ‘revive my Spotify account’ on my to do list for a while, but items can linger on my to do list for a fair while. But when I was fruitlessly trying to get to Manchester with Sue and Dean, I quite liked that when any music came up in conversation, Sue could just Spotify it and play it there and then. So that inspired me to give it another go. I also had a concert come up, and Spotify makes it easy to listen to the music of any artist you might be about to go see. So I got my bum in gear. 

I just tried again. It had been years; surely things (especially technology) change on such timescales! And they had. I could just log back in. And I made sure to download the app onto my phone, and to get a paid account, so you don't get all these annoying commercials.

It's a bit like the cupboard under my stairs; I wanted to do that for a long time, and it took many years, but in the end I got it done! So if I now either don't like what's on the radio, or the signal just isn't great, or I just want to listen to something very specific, I just can. Progress! I moved one tiny little step into this century again…
