Nothing. Why pay for an inferior experience?

Never pay for an inferior experience, but for £2.50 a month the experience of using Spotify instead of having to manually find, download, synchronise, and manage a music library is worth it for me.

Not being able to listen to everything I want makes it inferior. I'm also fundamentally against paying money for things that don't actually pass that money on to the people who deserve it (in this case, the artists). If I spend money on music I just buy the album directly from the artist.

Fair enough, it works for me but not for everyone

Yeah I'm not criticising. Just explaining my position further. :)
