For real. I love Spotify. I've had a paid membership for many years, and it's easily one of the best values for the money. The algorithm knows my musical tastes pretty goddamn well, because my Spotify generated playlists are usually goldmines of stuff I'd never heard before or completely forgot about.

My only problem is how little the artists make off the service... but it's a catch-22 because I've ended up going to concerts and/or buying merch from artists I only knew about BECAUSE of Spotify.

I feel you there. I try to support the artists when they come to town too.

Spotify is my best source for casually finding out that [X] artist is coming to town.

This is the way.
