If the economic incentives spotify offers are any indication, you may be correct in more ways than one.

(Remember, kids, you're sending a clear signal about what's valuable with your purchases. And if you're using spotify, it isn't the artists whose music you're listening to.)

If you'd still like to use a terminal player you should check out mopidy: https://www.mopidy.com

Same here... but I've been thinking of switching as mostly I just listen to a few playlists. Are there any tools to let you easily purchase songs on iTunes / Amazon / etc based upon a Spotify playlist?

I've been using cmus for the past two months and absolutely love it! Its simplicity compared to many other ncurses-based applications is refreshing.

My only wish is that it was a bit more "vi-y". I'm sure someone has a way, though ;).

I use moc ( http://moc.daper.net/ ) but seeing the example command on the cmus homepage (:seek +1m) makes me want to test it.

It sounds like cygwin can compile and run it: http://matthieukeller.com/2015/01/compiling-cmus-for-cygwin....
