On paper, there's alternatives. In practice, I strongly prefer Spotify's UI, cross-platform apps (which are dying but still work for now) and social functions.

So for me and many of my friends, it would also be back to mp3s (+ last.fm?) instead of a different streaming service. This wouldn't be the first time one of the more user friendly streaming services have been taken down. Happened to Rdio, too.
