I feel the opposite. I subscribe to Spotify specifically for music discovery in the form of listening to playlists other people (not algorithms) created. IMO these tend to be much better than anything I've seen a computer come up with.
I'm also pretty excited about podcasts and news. Podcasts, because it may eliminate another app on my Phone that I always felt Spotify should have been able to do all along. News is exciting because I really don't know any other way to stream on-demand audio news into my phone (and car). Maybe there is already an app for that? I looked around lightly and never found anything.
I feel the direction they are taking isn't 100% music albums, but more the audio-everything on the go. I listen to Spotify 99% of the time on my commute, and love the focus on audio-only.

I agree with pretty much everything you said, but thought I'd point out NPR One is great for this purpose: http://www.npr.org/about/products/npr-one/ http://www.npr.org/about/products/npr-one/
- robwilliams 11y agoSpotify itself also has some frequently-updated curated playlists for most genres that are great for discovery.
