The way I see it...most music fans want their music free...in the form of piracy.

Spotify (in most cases) alleviates that. (I say most cases as some artists absolutely do not like the idea behind Spotify).

I like it. It allows me to share music tracks in a heartbeat, and for what it's worth, the only playlist I have has over 800 tracks on it.
