I generally ignore updates. If it ain't broke....

I don't think streaming costs money, unless as you say you're on mobile internet, but I do all my Spotifying from home and I have unlimited download with my ISP so no problem.

Every year or so I connect to Spotify and feed it a number of the artists from my personal music library - artists with 50-300 albums to their name. Each time Spotify has returned only a handful of results.

And given the widely-reported user discontent with the service's crippling of their interface, it is unlikely that they will ever win me as a customer.
My taste isn't exactly what you'd call eclectic, but I have seldom come across an album I couldn't get there. The odd one, yes, but very seldom. And then of course there's Grooveshark and if you're really stuck YouTube. It's great for those of us who just want to listen to an album to review it, without having to buy the thing, even if it can be got for less than a dollar...
