Spotify (part 2)

Wednesday, 26 May 2010

I see that many people that i know are already using Spotify, so i will not write too much about it. But here is my playlist for today.

If you don’t have a Spotify account yet, please open one. It will cost you nothing, unless you want to use it more than 20 hours a month. And even then it will cost only 5 euro.
I have serious doubts about the benefits for the artists. I mmean, i am afraid the labels get more money for selling/sharing their catalogue with Spotify than the artists get for every tiime you and i play a song. Of course, this is better than getting no money at all, but when i think of the Buma/Stemra fees for posting music on a blog, i wonder how they could agree with what Spotify offers and costs. Here is some interesting info on these matters.
