If anything, it's more worrying for Spotify that these labels are all closely related by genre. This leaves a gaping hole in that specific genre, which is harder to ignore than a few artists here or there.
- marvin 15y agoInsideOut (the biggest progressive rock/metal label) removed all their music from Spotify about a year ago. This would have been a dealbreaker for me when I started my Spotify subscription, but now I almost can't be bothered to switch...switching would mean exporting my 200 playlists to the next sertive.
- AndrewDucker 15y agoSame here. I lost Frost* from my playlists, but frankly there' so much other music to listen to that I'm not missing them.
- zokier 15y agoThat's one scary aspect of music services such as Spotify. They twist our listening behavior with selective offerings.
- pavel_lishin 15y agoHow much of the music in those playlists has to disappear before you have to switch?
- mortenjorck 15y agoAs an electronic musician trying to gain exposure (with tracks in the process of being published to Spotify), I wonder if this is good or bad. 200 fewer indie electronic labels means a little less competition for visibility on the service... but then it also means electronic listeners are less likely to use the service in the first place.
