The time has come when you’ll need deeper pockets to keep using Spotify. The Sweden-based music streaming giant has announced yet another price hike for its Premium subscribers living in the US, Estonia, and Latvia.

    I’m curious what are you listening to that they don’t have? They have most commercial music with the exception of movie and game OSTs.

    Classical music, hobbiest remixes or independent artists would be another category they don’t have as you need a contract with distributor to submit to Spotify.

      Live music mostly, both commercially released and fan traded. Smaller bands, out if print records, a ton of open and free music that they don’t bother with, music in dispute over royalties and so on.

      Almost every time I have looked they simply don’t have a lot of music I am looking for.

      And all the mainstream stuff they do carry is literally everywhere else for free anyways.
