If the artists allow their music on Spotify how is it illegal? Everyone should get Spotify premium. Well worth the money.

I've used Spotify daily since I bought premium, just a great service. I'm sure other services work similarly but I love how I can be listening to something on my phone then continue listening right where I left off on my computer at home.
I'd say my listening splits at around 80% Spotify, 20% vinyl.

I've had premium for a few years now. I make a lot of use as a quick and easy way to listen to things, but, as I tend to listen to a lot of things frequently, I might actually have been better off buying the music itself. But, the convenience of being able to listen to anything you feel like is pretty invaluable.
One of the biggest uses I have for it is actually for my kids. Whenever they get into a movie with a soundtrack, we end up listening to it over and over. I've probably played the Moana soundtrack over a 100 times. Currently, Lego Batman is getting a tiny of airplay in my house.

Premium is the best money I'll spend each and every month. I work in an office so for 8 or so hours every day I'm abusing the hell out of it. The download feature is so handy too for commutes home on the subway underground and when I go to my cottage in the summer (the cell reception is really shitty) I make a huge playlist and pre-download it so I'm not without music.
Would never consider cancelling premium even if I needed that money for food.

I also got PVRIS tickets pre-sale because they emailed me about it. But the suggestions to the playlist, I don't really pay attention to them. Spotify has a few issues that piss me off but overall it is a fine program and well worth the money.

Love it. I'm also using the "student's edition" of spotify premium which is only $5/month.
It screws artists out of record money most likely but artists have been getting screwed out of record money since there were records

I've wanted to make the jump but their music limit of 3,333 per device and 9,999 per account over 3 devices kind of kills it for me. Not because I expect to hit a 10,000 song limit anytime soon (I'm at 1,250 on GPM atm) but it's just not having to worry. Plus I'm on a family plan on GPM and pay $0 and can upload my own music that's not in any library as well, which is nice.
I've considered jumping ship to Spotify or Apple Music many, many times, though.

I don't know.
The band I manage has their music on Spotify. They're not big or anything, but the payouts we get from Spotify are pretty good considering their size. It's alot better than the payouts we get from YouTube.
If you're an artist on Spotify and your music gets added to a major playlist it can result in a huge boost in plays and you get can a nice payout from it.
Most of the artists that complain about Spotify have labels which take a cut of the streaming revenue.

Yes. AFAIK artists signed under the major record companies get fractions of a penny for every song played.

Funny, I just picked it up last week and it's a bit daunting at first.
After adding virtually every artist I've ever liked, I'm starting on the playlists.

I have had Spotify Premium for close to a year now. Absolutely love it. Having no commercials is great, but the best thing is being able to download music and listen to it offline.
I listen to music quite a bit at work, so that makes it well worth it right there. But then it's awesome to be able to hook your phone into the car and play Spotify playlists on the road, also to be able to have good music at the cabin.

I use Apple Music which is essentially the same service (yes, Apple Music also has offline music, everyone seems to think this isn't a thing) but from what I understand the playlists on Spotify are far, far superior. That being said, I don't care for playlists and I like integrating my Apple stuff + I enjoy the functionality of iTunes.

Which uses data and sadly in Canada, unlimited data still does not exist. My phone has about 150 gigs of space and about 900 or so songs on it so not lacking in variety.
