I had a completely different experience. I loved Spotify when living in the EU (ok, except for their ad shenanigans) because they had a huge catalog of music and almost everything I wanted to hear and everything my friends wanted to introduce me to. Their similar artists tool led to me spending hours in the app, and we would use Spotify for parties (using an paid account) to save the monotony of listening to someone's iPod collection. Now I use GrooveShark, but it's lacking the artist recommendations. Aside from that it's perfect, and even more portable being browser-based. If I listened to music more often I'd have no problem paying for a Spotify account (which I believe allows you to stream outside of the EU).
