I love it. I am very happy to pay $10 a month to listen to almost anything I can think of. These days, I even tend to just stream albums I already own from iTunes, CD, amazon MP3, etc. (I figure every stream pays a tiny bit of $$ for the artist, whereas they already got paid when I bought their record on iTunes three years ago.)

Tracks sound great for me, and I like being able to download playlists to my iPhone for using at the gym, for example.

And I enjoy the social aspect of it posting on my FB, as there's a few folks I chat with there about what we're hearing. And I found Soundrop yesterday, which reminds me a little of turntable.fm, and I think that's going to be a cool feature.

What it comes down to is that I could never afford to buy all the music I am listening to now. But in exchange, I am listening to way more music than I would have done before without relying on youtube or other ways of sampling stuff.

I would probably be okay with the ads if I only ever listened on my desktop. But I use my iPhone all the time to play music - even when I am at home. So I need the $10 account.

And it's worth it to me to pay a few bucks since my listening has shifted to about 95% streaming in the last few months, and it will only increase.

Since this has been bumped, does anyone know how to resize the search bar? Mine has shrunk to tiny proportions (ooo-eeer!) and I really have to squint or else push my nose right up to the monitor to make sure what I'm typing is what I think it is. It just changed one day and I haven't been able to change it back. Real pain.

I use it to test the music I want to buy.

I've only had spotify on my computer (the free version) and if I had the money, I would most definitely pay the $10 for the premium to have my music anywhere. It's better than iTunes because you don't have to pay per album or per song, just monthly.

Spotify's newest update was so damn terrible that I had to find a way to downgrade my version. They removed SO many important functions. Using that crap for a day and then reverting back felt just amazing. Hoping they actually read all the complaints and fix it as soon as possible.

I have Premium and I love it.

How do you downgrade?

Yeah, the update is garbage.

How the hell do people stream spotify so much on the go? Do they really have that much mobile internet? Isn't that expensive as ****?
