I've been a spotify user for a while and was wondernig how many actually know about it?
It's still in its BETA days so its quite new. but its a legal way for you to listen to practically any band. Some bands/record companys dont allow it such as metallica. Its legal because every 3-4 songs it plays you a 30 second advert between the song, they make money from the advert then pay the record label. http://www.spotify.com/en/ Its not legal in every country though. so i hope it is for you guys

And with Premium, we pay about 10 bucks a month to get rid of the advert ^^
I've paid for it since day two. Great program, and I rarely use anything else unless I listen to a real CD in the stereo

I've been using it for some time. Record lables sign the artists up but there has been some controversy lately since artists have came to notice they don't earn enough money from it so they back out, they want to sell records instead.
But so far I havn't seen one artist back this up in anyway. It's be interesting to know: - How much less do they earn having the music on Spotify compared to not being there - How many less records did they sell due to existing also on Spotify To me it seems like a spur of the moment to back out. Possible the lable takes more money but I also smell some greed from the artists. I don't know what the record companies earn and exactly how much the artists earn but to me this seem to be a danger to Spotify's success. If too many artists back out. -------------------- My bands homepage

I've been using Spotify for a while. I try to buy albums when I have the money but it is a great alternative to youtube when you want to hear something for free.

I don't know what the record companies earn and exactly how much the artists earn but to me this seem to be a danger to Spotify's success. If too many artists back out. I'd imagine that Spotify have some form of broadcast license as it would be required by the various Broadcast legislations. (These do cover digital broadcast btw.) As such Spotify may well either have to provide a specific playlist or, more probably given their delivery vehicle, pay a blanket fee to the regional performance rights agency. It is up to a label to then be adequately registered to receive money from this blanket fee off of the PRA and to then distribute it to its artists on some form of pro-rata basis. This should be covered in the artist's contract. As to whether you can quantify it with regard to exposure and marketing and increased/lost sales. No you can't directly but the assumption is that increased exposure will eventually lead to sales. That's why record labels have A&R  ...
