A comment on the idea "See statistics in collaborative playlists" in Spotify:

You could just create a new collaborative playlist, add all the songs from the old one, and then remove the old one. – mzl, on November 09, 2009 19:40

You either need an invite, or you need to become a premium subscriber. Both are done via the website.

mzl replied on November 09, 2009 13:58 to the question "Please can you increase Premium Bitrate?" in Spotify:

AFAIK, Spotify has no plans for streaming CD quality music ("lossless"), nor for any other quality levels besides the currently available -q5 (about 160 kbit/s) and -q9 (about 320 kbit/s).

Regarding bitrates: Do you really think that -q10 (about 500 kbit/s) would be so much better than -q9? Hearing the difference between -q5 and a CD in an ABX test is non-trivial (that is, in the tests I've seen and done myself). Do you have links to any tests for -q9?

A comment on the idea "Add paypal payment support for spotify" in Spotify:

AFAIK, your invites are connected to your account, not if it is premium or free. – mzl, on November 09, 2009 13:31

mzl replied on November 06, 2009 09:13 to the idea "Being able to queue tracks and make spotify continue playing songs from the playlist the song is located" in Spotify:

You can do this already in two steps:
1) Queue the song
2) Right-click on the playlist, pick "Choose as current playlist"
Not sure if a combined operation would really offer anything.

If you are using Wine on Linux to run Spotify, the sound driver settings might be responsible.
