But that's for our faves,
not all artists. I literally wouldn't do that for anyone but Gaga. In fact, she's the only artist who's material I actually buy. Don't act like some of us would do these admittedly crazy or objectively frivolous things for just anyone or everyone.

I love that they offer lossless audio (I can tell the difference to be honest) and that they're seemingly trying to actually pay artists a fair amount for their work, but $20 a month is
really pricey. I'm a college student so I don't have that kind of money to throw around unfortunately. (Hell, I can't even really afford the $5 student plan on Spotify.) If they did offer a student plan like Spotify, though, I just might consider switching. I'll give the 30 day free trial a try though starting April 1, which is incidentally the day my "$0.99 for three months of premium" Spotify subscription deal ends.
Oh and another thing I'm concerned about is the actual material they'll be offering. Sure, there's been a few big names mentioned in this thread, but honestly I only use like 2-3 of those. I'm gonna need more artists on there to even consider it. (Not saying only these few big names will be the only ones on it by the way, just pointing something out.)
this will flop hard
Poor Spotify tho. 
I probably stream an entire album once every two months, and then only separate songs, I'm not gonna pay 20 bucks for that each month, when I might as well just buy that one album for like 10.
