There are too many free options out there that do essentially the same thing for no cost. For a select few I can see the cost being worth it, but for most I just don't think they will be able to justify it. Sorry, I just cannot get past the subscription for this.

In my opinion though, it's well worth paying £9.99 for having an encyclopoedia of music at your fingertips... all included in the £9.99 and completely legal. It's more or less rendered the iPod function of my iPhone useless (except for kickstarting my iTrip for playback of music from Spotify in my car). I am one of those people who took the risk of jailbreaking my iPhone and installing Backgrounder from Cydia, allowing me to use Spotify in the background while browsing the net or sending messages. The only annoying thing is not being able to double-tap the home button to skip tracks, but a small price to pay. I was a Spotify user anyway - free ad-supported version - but after the iPhone app became available the £9.99 a month pricetag was more than justified. Is this the Death of iTunes?

You have to pay the £9.99 a month (source: http://www.spotify.com/en/products/day-pass/) Could it be Spotify don't want you to try it for a day and see how badly it copes over Edge?

Could it be Spotify don’t want you to try it for a day and see how badly it copes over Edge?
