10K songs is restrictive when it comes to digital music collections.

I have 15k songs in my iTunes library, and that doesn't include the music I listen to via Apple Music and SoundCloud. Given that I've been building up this music collection for about two decades now, there's quite a bit of stuff in the long tail, though I do listen to near all of it over the span of a few years.

If Spotify want to be around for another decade, I think it's reasonable that they let people build up a respectable library.

But you don't have to save every single track to your collection, there's no reason to be a hoarder. They're still there on Spotify even if you don't save them, it's not like saving MP3s to your hard drive.

Use playlists as well. Each playlist has its own limit of 10K tracks AFAIK. So I save only absolute favorite individual tracks (and take some stuff off the list once in a while), and I save favorite full albums as playlists.
