Happy Jack Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 You know, the money they can't possibly afford to pass on to musicians. Thanks to a FB post by @Wolverinebass I am now aware that they are the new sponsors for Barcelona FC: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/60759525 But don't worry, musos, it's a bargain. Spotify are paying LESS than £250,000,000 for the privilege ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidan63 Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 weird that, I don't know how many paying customers they have but I rarely get any adverts between songs now on the free version. so how does their business model actually work ? I buy both digital and vinyl from artists, most of what I listen to on spotify at work is stuff I have the vinyl of, a lot of it from the 70s and early 80s when I consumed a lot of music, read the weeklies and went to gigs.

BigRedX Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 AFAIK their "money" is entirely due to the share issue and any profits are due to the investment of that money in other things. As a service Spotify (like all other streaming services) barely makes a profit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveXFR Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 I've recently changed to Tidal because they seem to be able to pay artists more than double without charging users any more. Better sound quality as well. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing that was putting me off was lazyness in needing to re-make all my playlist but apparently that can be done automatically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I chose to start fresh so I don't know how well it works 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
