I just saw via a Daring Fireball post that a music exec says the music from Spotify is –
The income from Spotify is MICROSCOPIC – LAUGHABLE – PATHETIC.
Yet how come all the rap acts/bands and CDs I saw and purchased in 2010 were a direct result of me checking them out on Spotify?

Indeed. I also used it for a friends recent 30th bash!
