Two weeks ago I finally decided to go through the trouble of creating a Spotify account for myself, by using the proxy trick and pretending to be a user from the UK. Already during the first few days I have managed to develop a love/hate relationship with the service, which kind of verifies that Spotify is indeed going to be a revolution at least the size of Napster. All great service products have to stir up some emotion, so things are looking good for the Swedes. Congratulations, you lucky devils.
Spotify, I love you because…
- You make it so incredibly simple to access music, even those albums that I have on my CD shelves
- If I want to do research on a new artist, your single UI is so much more convenient than browsing YouTube or downloading MP3′s
- Your €10/month offer for the premium service is so attractive
- You are seriously making me question why people need to own music in the first place
Spotify, I hate you because…
- You make me wonder why I should bother to continue digitalizing my CD’s, while I’m already halfway through the project
- You provide hardly any tools for discovering new artists within the application, so I still need to do that somewhere outside
- You don’t seem to offer much in return for the €10 premium service, since the free account is already so damn good
- I like to own CD’s and you’re making me look like a fool
