I guess there's a possibility that if you're signed to a major label that some of the Spotify revenue that they accumulate from subscribers and advertising will filter through to the artists, but as far as I'm aware there is no current play count and appropriate royalty distribution.
At present I also do not see how Spotify helps musicians get paid from online music, but it is a step in the right direction in helping people understand that streaming media is the way forward and that there is no point to downloading and storing media files if they can just be streamed at any time.
The next steps are:
1) working out how to monitor how many different devices around the world are playing each piece of media,
2) billing the internet service providers who are broadcasting this amazing multimedia service and
3) distributing the royalties accordingly.
