Spotify is great. I just don't see how they can justify that £10 a month subscription. Thats about half what I pay for the internet itself.

This combined with your post above just proves that you are a cheap bastard.

So i'm cheap. The free version of spotify works so well that £10 a month for an upgrade in quality and no-ads seems pretty excessive. I think its likely to put people off.

When Last.fm was just getting started it charged £1.50 a month for a similar, slight upgrade to personal radio and no-ads.

How can you justify all artists on spotify splitting ad revenue and subscription revenue? That is nothing at all for the artists even compared to itunes. If I am wrong I would like the understand the model. I have a lot of friends with their music on spotify. How does payment work?

As far as I know their method for artist payment is a trade secret.

Reminder that £10 is what a single album costs if you, y'know, buy it.

Yeah and the record labels are having no problems whatsoever with selling albums at that price lol.

Im not following you, surely £10 for unlimited music on demand for a month is a good deal whichever way you slice it? Are you saying that it should cost less than a single album? Of course if you compare it to just stealing it then its a bad deal but then thats just stupid.

Yes i'm saying it should cost less than a single album. I don't own any of the tracks on spotify. I can only listen to them on my computer, and to be frank I can already get streamed music on my computer for free, through spotify itself.
