Coldplay Refuses to License Its Latest Album to Spotify...

and for good reason, expect more to do the same...

Coldplay Refuses to License Its Latest Album to Spotify... - Digital Music News

major bands with artists approvals should be requiring substantial advances, just like Netflix is now having to pay advances for major movies.

I saw this coming as well.
Pretty soon one of two things will happen:

1) Spotify will change their payment model
2) Spotify will become an irrelevant baron wasteland with nothing good in the way of music to offer.

Either way, somethings gotta give!

Surely Coldplay and Tom Waits can easily be replaced by the thousands of 'forward thinking' web 2.0 artists who see Spotify as 'fabulous promotion'.

Why pay for any music anymore?Just belong to a service.
Suffice it to say,I bet nobody listens to every song on their player
of choice. Most of todays music is disposable,though there is talent out there.
You have to dig around for it as the number of genres has fractured the music business into a new wild west!!
