Original Cast Recordings of Musicals
I’ve found a great new free way to listen to original cast recordings of lots of musicals on my computer. Right now I’m enjoying Zorro!
Spotify is a legal way to listen to music online either for free (with occasional ads) or if you pay for premium it’s ad free.
Spotify is sort of like radio on demand. It’s a streaming service so you can’t store the music on your computer or transfer it to an MP3 player but it’s good enough to listen to music whilst working on your computer.
You can make up your own playlists and share them with friends.
The service pays a small fee to access the songs legally so it’s perfectly ok to use. You have to download the software onto your computer but it’s really easy and works on both PC and Mac computers via Adobe Air
Cast recordings I found on Spotify so far
They are adding stuff all the time so it’s worthwhile searching. So far I’ve managed to find:
They are lots more – so I hope you enjoy Spotify.
