Coca-Cola has been surprising me every day. Aside from the common place it sits on every meal we have at home, the numerous concerts and holidays I've celebrated with them and the countless bottles and cans they shipped at home, here they go again and got me something cool with all the Coke madness that runs through my house this afternoon. They gave me MUSIC.
I guess this is still part of their celebration. They are now 125 years in existence and the pack that they gave me got this commemorative bottle that started it all.
They did not just leave me hanging of course. After this awesome memorabilia, they went ahead and gave me something that I'll be listening to in MY BREAKTIME. Have you guys heard of Spotify?
Spotify is one of the biggest music platforms in the world. It's the leading online music streaming service to ever land in the face of the Earth. Unfortunately, this is NOT AVAILABLE in the Philippines yet but Coca-Cola hooked us up and partnered with SPOTIFY to give us the chance to get exclusive access to over 25 MILLION songs worldwide!
Since I'm feeling generous today and Coca-Cola said we can hook you up too, we're giving this FREE SPOTIFY Accounts to you too! It's easy!
1.) Just go to your email client (Outlook, Gmail, Yahoo etc.) and put in Coca-Cola Spotify on the subject.
2.) Send it to Social_CokePH@coca-cola.com.
3.) You'll receive an auto reply email that contains a specific and UNIQUE CODE plus a link to the secret SPOTIFY registration page so you can download it off the net.
Just install it according to instructions and launch the software on your PC. I allowed it on my firewall when it asked me to. If you've got it installed just launch the program and you're good to go!
Spotify also gets you to create your own community by either connecting with other Spotify accounts or Facebook if you are into it. Aside from that, the software also shows what songs or artists are trending around you. If your friends/neighbors are into loca band Eraserheads, Chicosci or Rivermaya they've got that too! If you're more into foreign ones, you'll have millions of songs to enjoy too using Spotify. I'm a child of the 80's, 90's and house music so you pretty much know where I spent my time favoring each track when I found them all! Aside from that, you can create playlists so you don't have to go back to each individual album when you want music right there and now. You can even get your friends playlists too if you've got the same taste in music.
Out of all the features I've loved in Spotify, I was so surprised when I connected my iPod which I originally just wanted to charge. The thing detected it immediately and asked if I wanted to SYNC music on it too! Geeze, now I don't have to open a separate iTunes software to get the lovely local content I have into my gadgets. The application also classifies tracks by genres, artists, albums etc. so you don't have to have others hogging your resources. I did this on my netbook and it was still working together with my browsers and downloads in the background. Isn't that amazing?
Now that you've got Spotify on your PC, you can stream all the lovely content that Spotify can only bring into Filipino homes. You just have to get it installed on your PC, then your other gadgets when it becomes available soon!
Thank you so much Coca-Cola for not only giving me a great break time but a really a better one because of Coca-Cola and Spotify Music! You guys ROCK!
