> Basically anytime you could be listening to music.

That will be one of your core existential challenges, though...right? Almost everyone prefers listening to music...the average person bases a significant amount of their time acquiring and idolizing music...and so you don't have much time to work with. After my commute is over, I will be at a computer screen listening to spotify as I either work or read websites...there is no way I can be listening to written material.

I'm being overly negative here...it's not that the execution is poor, it's that I think you underestimate the immense behavioral patterns that you have to upend for this app to be as integral to a person's lifestyle as Spotify or the radio

I think we are quickly moving away from decades where people spent significant time acquiring music. My 2 terabyte music library was rendered mostly pointless after I got Spotify premium (I say mostly because some is not available on the service). The entire purpose of collecting all that music was not because I listened to many of the tracks frequently but because I wanted them playable with a click of a button if I ever desired to give them a listen. Now people can skip the collection building phase and also access their (Spotify's) entire collection anywhere and on many devices.

I don't think people that want to listen to music are going to listen to anything else. I DO believe that people who want to listen to news articles may settle for listening to music if the methods for accessing what they desire are not convienient.
