I'm a heavy Spotify user because it is so much more convenient than the alternatives. I love not having to care about buying, downloading, uploading, sorting, tagging and generally messing about with files.

Most of the time, I don't even have to make my own playlists: I just find someone else's that looks interesting, mark it for "Available offline", and listen to that for a while.

I'm not interested in "owning" music (whatever that means these days). I am interested in listening to it, and Spotify makes this very easy.

In comparison, the whole "locker" business seems very messy, and rather unnecessary. I can't for the life of me see what the advantage would be.
