Sounds about right. I was a massive Spotify fan when I signed up in 2008, but that has cooled significantly as time has gone on.

It’s a textbook Feature Factory [1].

I don’t think anybody asked for all the features they have crammed in, right up to the point where it’s playing videos like a wannabe YouTube client.

When I know my machine is going to need CPU resources and I don’t want to work with the sound of the fan, I load up a lightweight FLAC player instead.

[1] …a term that is apparently annoying to Agile enthusiasts… Good!
