I wonder how many people with free accounts actually use more than 10 hours anyway??
I would imagine that it's not all that many.

I'm still on the old free account. No limits for me (but I do get ads)

Aha, I wondered why I wasn't running out of listening time*  I can't imagine this will do either Spotify or the industry much good in the long run... * It's probably the same with Grooveshark now that I think of it. _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

Does that mean you only have 10 hrs / month (or 20 mins / day) that you can listen to the "Radio" Now I am a Radio 4 guy amd that can be on, esp over the weekends, for 5 - 6 hrs / day - come to think of it just the monring alarm means the radio is on for at least an hour a day

i used to use Imeem.com to listen to music, it's much like spotify but they cut back on music available due to legal reasons i think and then went under and were taken over by MySpace, so its crap now  seems to be the trend with every "free" music streaming site, they are dying

I was planning on using it to find albums listening to them and then ordering the CD. If the music business were involved in this decision it will hurt them ultimately as people will probably not hear music as much and so will buy less.

I blogged on this very issue: There ain’t no such thing as a free lunch — some thoughts on Spotify* *I apologise if linking to one’s own blogs etc. is regarded as spam. If it is, let me know, ta. _________________I’m on the internet — blog | flickr | facebook | twitter

They were buying more before Spotify launched. Music sales have fallen since. _________________I’m on the internet — blog | flickr | facebook | twitter

I think that the global recession had a big impact in that respect. Though the big CD buyers are the baby boomers and they are starting to die off, or are getting seriously sqeezed financially. _________________Do concentrate, 007... "You are gifted.
