With Your Windows Down

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Kia Rio for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

            This is interesting. Kia Motors and Spotify (a very cool music service that you should try) have set up the Kia Rio Best Songs to Play with Your Windows Down playlist. It is interesting if only to see the songs that other people have submitted. To see it you must submit a song and have Spotify (you already should but if you don’t get it)

            To submit a song go to;   "Best Songs with your Windows Down" playlist

            And submit your favorite song to play with your windows down. It will check it to make sure the title and content are family friendly so it won’t appear right away. Enter your email and a name and click submit then ‘view playlist’. It will open a dialogue box to ask what you want the link to open in, choose Spotify and it should look something like this;

how the playlist looked for me

              All songs will be added by kia.rio on the playlist, so don't be alarmed when you don't see your Spotify username there - this is because all songs are going through the review process.

              The Voice-Activated UVO Infotainment System  is powered by Microsoft. Its a voice activated integration system for your car. it allows you to control your radio and phone and other gadgets with one voice activated system. look here for more info. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=Lml0ufpxkzI

              The interesting thing is the lack of diversity and an occasional outlier. For example I have no idea who ‘Animal Collective’ or ‘Kimbra Guetta’ are but most of it is songs that were popular in the 80’s or 90’s. I love trying new music, especially the kind that other people think is really good and moving. For the record I chose ‘Planet X Marks the Spot’ by Dr. Steel and if you have never heard it look it up it should be on the playlist later.
