Spotify

It's nice for the consumer but if you're a musician selling your music on spotify, you know they don't pay you s**t. You get 0.7 cents on there. No, that's not 7 cents. That is seven tenths of a penny. Which means you don't even get paid one penny per play. Not a very efficient source of income, I'd say. Spotify is putting musicians out of business because of this. They are running the site, making money from consumers, while the people who REALLY run it - the musicians/songwriters - are getting duped. If you want proof of this, then do the research.
By the way, I see people who use spotify for the same 8 songs... nothing else. If you wanna listen to the same 8 songs via spotify, just go buy the 8 songs on itunes. It's cheaper & it's a one time cost. This way you're not paying $10 per month for something you could pay $8 for one time & be all set.
As a musician, I am among the several people who stopped selling my music on spotify. I don't support this kind of business practices. So I took my music back... MY music. The stuff I put my blood sweat & tears into producing.
This is just my opinion. No offense to people who use it.

Pause before purchasing Spotify premium. One will get just about the same service using the free version. Customer service is also almost nonexistent. Good Luck.

Amazon Unlimited Music has this missing feature - but they don't carry my podscasts! MAJOR ISSUE - Spotify does not have a function when you go offline from WIFI to just automatically switch over to play downloads only. If you forget to do switch it to "Offline mode" manually to only play your downloaded music and / or podcasts it will chew through your data very quickly. This is all over the internet as one of their fatal flaws

After turning off ALL notifications your app STILL has the incessant need to notify me of every song I listen to, ALL the time, even when it's been on my playlist for years. ANNOYING and ignorant as far as I concerned. Your company OBVIOUSLY doesn't give a $#*! about it's customers. The app can't even do an acceptable shuffle on my playlist, it plays the same half dozen or so songs over and over again. The app is pathetic as far as I concerned. Give it a zero but that's not an option.

After a week, the DUO plan does not work. They have no phone number. Their answer is to delete your account and re install the app. I had done this. FOR A WEEK. Now im worried that this $#*! show has my account number. The "chat" will ruin your account further if you start asking the HARD QUESTIONS LIKE ARE YOU LIGIT.

It feels like it's playing one add for 1 unskiped song (u get 6 skips an hour), I'm not buying your stupid premium or listing to the trash songs you're promoting, in foct I make it my personal to avoid any artists that promote themselves in spotify adds. Not to mantion if I search up a song and try to play it, it will play a song from the entire album or smt. I genuinely hate spotify. They just have to make the adds 30 second long, that's not necessary, feels like they make them that long and get the most annoying voice actors just to spite me. I would rather listen to paint drying than use this app. The only reason I won't buy premium is becouse 90% of the stupid adds are about spotify premium, that's for remanding me why I sould use another app!

I think my title said it all. Promote brain washing antivirus crap over music? Really? I will never be a customer and never suggest any one should be!

I recently noticed that besides the music, the app offers additional information about the artists.
For example, you can see the schedule of upcoming events or concerts.

The fact that this company supports racist views instead of condemning them is enough for me not to use it anymore. And the fact that they financially abuse the artist is just another reason.
