Our kid swears by this website, loves it, never been on myself, whats the deal with it then?
Basically, it's an online library of music - you just search for the song/artist/album you want, and play it (not all artists are available, but a huge amount are and are being added all the time).
The free version allows you to listen to a few tracksbefore and advert clicks in, then plays a few more tracks (and so on..) - pay £10 a month and you don't get any adverts.
I suppose the difference between it and last.fm is you can play full albums on Spotify, and there are no 30 second samples of tracks - if it's on Spotify you can listen to all of the track.
It's also available on iPhones now as an app - which is a brave move by Apple to allow it as it renders their iStore pretty much useless.
