We shouldn’t toss out words like “revolutionize” and “game-changing” lightly, but Spotify has indeed revolutionized the online music world for artists and fans alike. But like all good things, Spotify comes at a cost.
I’m a huge fan of Spotify. I pay the student rate for a premium membership, and I can listen to (almost) whatever I want, wherever I want.
I don’t even remember the last time I paid for a $12.99 iTunes download or a physical CD. To please their fans, artists need to embrace the music industry’s shift to streaming.
