They have 40,000,000 "active" users.
10,000,000 of which pay $120 a year to use it.

my posting on ATRL influence maybe 100 people, most of whom already know about Spotify. ATRL is music heavy forum. Users on a music heavy forum probably have heard about Itunes and Spotify.

My contribution is like a drop in the ocean.

Wow, they finally announced that they hit the 10M mark. They've been quiet on their numbers for a while, after the 6M mark.

You don't have to use even 1 MB of data with OFFLINE Mode.

Wow didn't know they had that. Is the quality better on Premium I hope? Free quality is pretty bad.


I always used iTunes but I just bought Coldplay's physical album off Amazon for the same price as iTunes with free Prime two day shipping along with the mp3 version available immediately ripped right into iTunes and it came with a free mp3 song download. Never going back to iTunes tbh. If these music people want sales they need to lower the price. I think the increased sales would offset lower price point. I mean the digital albums have no production costs to be costing this much.

Yes, you can download songs on Spotify Premium, they also have 320 kbps music.

Yeah but they still don't have Coldplay's album and that alone is too much for me

Spotify is the superior service after all.

It took many years before some artists finally agree to let Itunes sell their music.

Likewise, there will be some "holdouts" when it come to streaming.

I will never doubt you anymore, Dust.

I was a doubter of Spotify to a Paid subscriber. I gave in, it's just SO GOOD

It's 320 kbps but you have to change the default setting if you're using offline mode, because song downloaded are set at 128 kbps.

THIS. Gosh it's such a pain to go to youtube everytime i want to listen to O.

Proud paid subscriber here! The interface is a biT hopeless, but otherwise...

Yikes 0.006 is so cheap

I still buy my fave's music and stream the hell out of her songs on spotify tho so all is well

Spotify is nice but I recently discovered Deezer and Deezer >>>>>>> Spotify
