As to paying £10 a month for Spotify Premium. If it was £5 or less, I'd probably have signed up already, but at £10, it's just too much. @Nick, that’s just on the iPhone and is due to the way the iPhone works, on an Android phone you can quite happily minimise and carry on.

It's great but I'd agree on the price. You can't compare it to Pandora (IMHO) since spotify is more of an on-demand service while Pandora is not. I wrote a user expience review of Spotify last month on my blog http://musicux.blogspot.com/. Please check it out.

I'd add that I do pay for all my music as well. I dont pay £30 on music a year, let alone £120 so its a bit of a rip-off in my eyes.
