Goodbye Spotify

[quiet_riot]

The cuts apply to Spotify open, those of us on Spotify free still get unlimited music, with a few ads thrown in :)

I didn't realise there was a difference, thought Open was just Free renamed. Just checked my Spotify profile and it still says spotify free though, so there might be something in that.

Edit:

As of May 1st, any user who signed up to the free service on or before November 1st 2010 will be able to play each track for free up to a total of 5 times. Users who signed up after the beginning of November will see these changes applied 6 months after the time they set up their Spotify account.

Bellends.

Having read your link, I think they are applying it to everyone.
Oh well, back to downloading mp3's illegally.

Spotify will die.
They are utterly stupid if they think enough people will pay just to listen to music.

we7 is still free (although there are adverts) not sure whether you can use it on smartphones though...

Ah well, there are othre music sites out there without adverts, not a massive loss
