A couple of points: 1. Don't care who TS is. If she was on Spotify, I'd give her a whirl - but since she's not, just not sufficiently bothered. 2. I think she (or her handlers - whoever makes the decision) make a valid point - artists should be able to pick whether they appear on the Spotify free version. 3. Lastly - all the talk about 'artist pay per play' is misdirected, as far as Spotify is concerned. The only metric that matters is what % of revenue they pay out to the rights-holders. The number now is 70% - ie they keep 30% of total revenue for themselves and give 70% to the label (who is then free to pay the artist as per their agreement). We can discuss whether 70% is a fair number (I personally have no idea). But talking about anything else is missing the point - since it ends up being a discussion about split between the label/artist/producers/etc - which Spotify has nothing to do with.
