Buzz makes it easy to share a little too much
I love the openness of Americans. It’s endearing, although it can mean listening to an extraordinary amount of information about someone for a first meeting.

Among other nifty usability features, Spotify can play your entire catalogue offline through playlist caches, so you can listen to the largest music collection on the web [...]
