Deezer.com - The Spotify killer?



I have been using Deezer for a few weeks now, and I must say that it kicks ass! Although the (Flash) GUI is a a bit buggy, and the workflow is not too intuitive, the service itself rocks, with all that FREE streaming music... just click and play.

Above you ca see my embedable playlist, and if you like electro, there sure are some goodies for you there :)

The media delivery is super fast and i'd say that apx. 60-70% of the songs i play have a great bit rate compression. I used to have Spotify, that was really amazing fast and great quality, but it is still not very accessible to the public, and also it seems that they are removing songs from their database all the time. Allright, just get over to Deezer to find great free music now!

Great delivery Dell!


Yeah, every time DHL comes knocking on the door it feels a little bit like christmas. This time the delivery man had a big nice package from Dell, and it was our new 1U rack server.

I filled her up with 8GB RAM and 2x500Gb SATA HDD, that hopefully will be enough to launch our project for the beta test audience.

The hosting location is also pretty cool, it's a new server hall located in a nuclear proof cave inside a mountain in the central parts of Stockholm (söder). Thanks to my friends at Carismar, i will install the new server in their rack at Pionen which is the name of the server hall from the hosting company called Bahnhof.
