| Spotify is a very serious attempt in this business and I expect to see some substantial growth. The product is absolutely fabulous and it's a nobrainer to pay the subscription fee. What's different about the subscription deal this time is that you so clearly pay for accesssing the content, not "renting" it. The only thing that happens if you stop paying is you'll get advertisement again. With the premium account, you have the iPhone app and you can use your playlists offline as well - killer. You can use it offline on the computer as well. As Spotify gets better and better and more and more people are using it and paying the premium fee - the more money it will make and the bigger the royalties get. Artists and labels who take their materiall off Spotify.. I think they are doing THE stupidest thing possible in music today.. |
