Allen, Spotify's subscription entails more than just ad-free radio listening. It opens up their full music collection for searching and streaming and it's accessible!

Is there really any differences? I believe they all have a free version in which you have to listen to an add every now and then. How is that any worse then TV or your local radio stations. I have no clue what Spotify will want to charge me to whack out all the adds but if it's more then 3 or 4 bucks a month, they can keep it. It wouldn't be worth it to me just not to hear an add. opinions please? Regards, Alan Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to All! Teenagers; Tired of being harassed by your stupid parents?
