Oh dear. All this talk of "bandwidth"
Do you not understand?
Spotify don't host the music specifically. They rely on P2P, i.e. music being stored on lots of computers all across the internet.
The fact that the software caches music on YOUR computer AND that it has many concurrent connections to the internet probably means that YOUR computer and YOUR bandwidth is already being used for the distribution of music.
In fact, for the business model to remain sustainable for Spotify, they probably wouldn't be able to do it any other way. Someone previously mentioned that Youtube loses $1Ms...bandwidth is one of the main reasons why...and THAT ISN'T A PROBLEM FOR SPOTIFY.
Anyway, back to the question at hand. If anyone can do video properly, I think the spotify team can.

plays fine here in the UK
but spotify:album:1qwlxZTNLe1jq3b0iidlue does not
Why on earth does spotify have duplicates...especially of new, current and recent artists - who haven't released and re-released/re-issued the same tracks a dozen times in different versions? I saw the same with Kanye West last night.
Surely it is not that difficult to write an algorithm that automatically checks for (and doesn't add) duplicates when you add something to your catalogue?
