I have paid for Premium Spotify ever since it was first possible to do so in Sweden, So I don't mind paying for content, and i haven't downloaded a song since i got it.

What i mind is that the industry has had their pants down for 10 years now and still hasn't really learned to pull them up. Instead of adpoting the technollogy they hunt down all their potential customers and scare and harass them, activly killing all efforts to evolve.
And they use the poor artist as a argument for defending their own earnings.

IMHO the Industry is a parasite on creative content and biggest threat to artists freedom and right to live of their work.

A comment on the question "does the artists i listen to get paid?" in Spotify:

well you are accurate in that it is a preconception but one that the industry brought on them selves, were they use the artist in the debate but keep larger parts of the income for them selves. It's a most hipocritical industry and it's got nothing to do with the artists getting paid or not. – foffen, on July 08, 2009 06:54

Nah, the artist doesn't really get paid, but i bet the fat cats and recording industry gets some nice revenue...

dempah: that is a very poor and complicated workaround compared to builtin support for DLNA and/or uPnP.

A comment on the problem "Sound is very flat and empty" in Spotify:

well i might have been overly bitter in my comment late last night, i appologise for that unprovoked sarcasm. Still, loudness feature does kill all claims to sound quality since it makes sound sound (?) horrible, i guess that was my main and only point... – foffen, on October 27, 2008 11:40

foffen shared an idea in Spotify on October 26, 2008 22:52:

Customer drivven media library expansion

Why not making it easy for your customers to feedback what artists they are missing in the library? This would provide a great feedback to you for what music you should prioritize to add to the media livbrarary

Either you can have a music request feature in the artist page or as an generic option in the menus, for example.

wow you really use the words sound quality, notebook and loudness in the same sentence... if anything destyroys sound quality it would be to use loudness on a pair of notebook speakers.... I do agree that the quality could be better but it's good enough for now as far as i am concerned and what i pay for it. Better to add features and expand the music library

Don't go iPhone, go uPnP/DLNA. think big! ;) with uPnP renderer/server/controlpoint support more devices can be used. All Nokia Symbian S60 allready have built in uPnP control point support.

foffen replied on October 26, 2008 22:27 to the idea "Spotify needs to be a proper music library player, like i-tunes" in Spotify:

Spotify is great, please keep it iTunes free, or atleast keep it optional. But in terms of improving the client i'm all for it.
