I have got to admit I canned Spotify subs years ago - but how are they managing to grow their subscriber base whn it is now going to be £11.99 in the UK? That is way, way too high for what it offers...

I can't even imagine paying for it to begin with.

I'm quite unhappy with spotify. I don't care about the price, but it keeps repeating the same and same music again, and the percentage of crappy AI music is increasing. You can clearly hear it. Their client isn't open source, and it's just a wrapped website. It sucks.

Is there any music on spotify that isn't also on youtube? Youtube has practically everything, it has always seemed to me. I've never been tempted by spotify.
