hi, you have to connect to spotify and find their list. then subscribe to it, there is a + sign. finally look for the song you want to add in a new browser, and then right click it to find the option add to, so you can share it to their list, once subscribed. sorry for my english i hope it helped you. i have other questions too; the link to the terms of the contest is broken. when do they announce the winners? can we add more than one song? would they contact the winners somehow? if so, how? hehehe, OK Go are great! good luck to you all.
