What's interesting is that now the mobile apps are available for free users, I'm sorry to say that they are going to lose I little of my money as this was my primary reason for paying for spotify.
You still can't sync songs you don't own. If you become a free user then any music you just 'made available offline' won't be accessible to you any longer.
I'd love to buy a Spotify Premium account, particularly with the new restrictions on the Free and Open accounts, but the only UK credit card I have is a company card - it won't let me buy an account with my personal non-UK card.
I'm this close to buying it on the company card and letting the accountant be cross with me at the end of the year (Hey, I need entertainment when working, right?).
That's a valid point, last time I used the free account this restriction was not there. This kind of limit makes the free account feel more like a trial account, maybe they won't lose my money after all...
Why not pay for such a great service? Why quible over such a low price?
You might be different than most people. But paying 20USD for a couple of bears and drinks is nothing yet when it comes to pay for music ad libitum people suddenly become very aware of their money.
I am not casting any blame, just interested in why people rationalize like that.
Well, given the other restrictions that Spotify imposed this month on the Free Spotify accounts, I can't see myself limiting myself to those restrictions any time soon, hence why I'm Premium.
Personally, I don't want to blur the line between paying and donating.
If you want to make business out of something, price it. I'm not going to "donate" if you are not some non-profit charity organization. But I'll gladly "pay" the same amount.
Business accepting donation feels like a convenient way for them to deny responsibility because, they didn't sell me anything, even if socially people will tell me to "donate".
I'm a happy paying Spotify user. While for the time I actually listen to music the 20 USD per month is quite a bit, the fact that I was able to get rid of all my CDs and MP3s makes it worth it. Music on demand
