another way to look at the spotify model is to look at the cost of the service and the annoyance level of the ads, is there not a relationship between the two.?

the balance should be struck between the level of noise created, and how much it costs to ge rid of that noise. @ £120 year, ill keep the ads but at £50 a year, it may be worth it.

but as mentioned above, either way spotify get revenue, what they miss out on IMO is customer (read user) satisfaction. of course i haven’t got an invite yet (cough cough). so cant speak with any authority.

last.fm is an intersting one, i did not eve know they had a subscription model until very recently, i like the free version and see no incentive to pay for it.

or is that just me?
