the deal is off.

7 million people have relied on Spotify for free music. Free music no more! From May 1 you'll be limited to 10 hours of free music - A MONTH (threw up a little bit there) as well as no more than five plays a song. Now that's not healthy.

Record labels don't know how to behave in the digital age and the last thing they want to do is give away too much for free. Today, 15% of the users are paying customers, a figure which is far from enough. Apparently Ken Parks, Spotify’s chief content officer, said that in order to grow the company had to “balance a number of priorities”. How delicately put.

I mean I get it, people need to make money. It just feels like they are not handling the situation very well.

While record labels and Spotify continue this mutually unprofitable relationship I'm gonna resort to books. That's right people! Books.

Wait... books?
