>Whopping? £10x12 = £120 so about 15-20 new CDs per annum. >You get 320 kbit and millions of songs.... >Seems very reasonable to me. It's payment for streaming. I can't take the music away with me, and after years of paying £10 a month, I wouldn't own anything for the money. If Spotify were to decide to stop the service, or if the service degraded, or my slightly iffy broadband connection got worse or I move house to somewhere that can't support that rate, I'd have nothing to show for it.
My musical tastes are a bit extreme; Spotify don't carry large chunks of my music collection; I actually find more luck with Last.FM, which I believe is cheaper (although I have only dabbled with Last.fm subscriptions for a few months in the past). I think Spotify can be a great way to discover or try new music that is recommended. I'd be more happy with a cheaper/free (add supported) streaming service. I kind of have that with Spotify on the desktop. If there was some killer feature for truly discovering new music based on my listening habits, etc, then maybe it would be worth it, but I'm not seeing that with Spotify yet; just top music lists based on average user accesses, and manual navigation to related artists, which I can get from other providers already (eg. Last.fm). _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
