They have many competitors, and tools to copy your music selections between services exist. For example:
Also, Spotify pays musicians less than most other services:

Spotify’s pricing is also inline with competitors. I don’t get it.

I'm a bit wary of logging in. Does Spotify provide OAuth with fine-grained control, i.e. will the page only get access to the music history or could it in theory change playlists and billing information?
It looks like they request these permissions: user-top-read, playlist-read-private, playlist-read-collaborative and they also gets your your name, username and profile picture.
The problem with this service is that most times, I don't chose what I listen to. Spotify does. I play music all day while working and I'd love to listen to more artists but most times, I'm stuck in the routine between my Release Radar on Fridays, Discovery Weekly on Monday, and Daily Mixes during the rest of the week.

>The problem with this service is that most times, I don't chose what I listen to. Spotify does. This is one reason I never really clicked with it, or with Pandora, and why I have really enjoyed and used Apple Music. I'm not really interested in algorithmic playlists most of the time.

Hope that didn't ruin the magic.
You can get around this by closing the account, and opening a new one, but this is too time consuming, since you need to do it frequently.

It rated me 6% basic... what's sad is that I'm now proud of that. I've resisted being called hipster, maybe inappropriately. My spotify was 'heavy-eyeliner-post-punk-boomer-relaxation-dads-still-cool bad'
