I believe playlists don't count as library (please correct me if I'm wrong) - so you can effectively surpass the 10,000 as a limit by adding songs to playlists instead of the library.

I've actually changed my model primarily around playlists and don't actually use the library feature of spotify hardly at all.

I've been a Spotify premium user for years now and have never used my Library, but have a ton of playlists organized and nested into different genre/mood/etc directories.

I'm sure there's a good reason why people want to use their Library instead and why the "playlist" way is inefficient since I've seen a lot of users annoyed with the limit, but anecdotally I've never had a problem with the playlist-first way of using the app.

Actually at this point if they put the limits on playlists and had an unlimited Library I'd probably be jumping ship to something else myself.

I use spotify in a lazy way, but essentially if I like a song, I press the check mark. If I'm doing my normal listening I just have all of my songs that are in my library on shuffle.

I imagine if I hit the 10K limit this inability to use shuffle on ALL of my tracks at once would annoy me.

I only save my very favorite tracks, for full albums I add them as a playlist.

That way I can still shuffle my collection of favorite awesome tracks, but I also have easy access to my favorite albums, where I still consider the whole album to be good, but only a few of the tracks stand out as absolute favorites.

I use it the same way, so for me hitting that 10K limit would take a very long time (if ever).

I can see some use cases where it would occur though.

This is true, but IMO it's not a great replacement. I imported my old Rdio library this way and it's effectively useless. I've had to become a playlist-first user as well, but boy I miss having a browsable catalog of all "my music"...
