Surely there's one significantly bigger catch - only paying members can save playlists offline.

Spotify employee here - it's only for free tier. Your service doesn't change.
Hey I just switched over from rDio to spotify. The reasons are that spotify lets you sync different songs/playlists to different devices and rDio does not. Spotify has a better library than rDio. However, why can I not browse/sync my 'Collection' on spotify's ios apps? Is this feature on the cards ? (I guess having a 'Collection' just on the desktop app makes little sense...) Would love it if you could answer!! Thank…
Spotify will offer a Collection service in the future. It was announced about a year ago, and beta applications just closed for it. I'm hoping we're going to see it sooner rather than later because it's a must-have feature for me.

#33This seems like a surprisingly dumb move. Making a virtual Ipod Shuffle will only serve to annoy users. Which on the other hand is their business model, but I think users will rather uninstall than upgrade to premium because of this.
Agreed - I say this as a premium subscriber and have vast experience of the awfulness that is their paid for app, be it on android or ios.
The vast awfulness of their app? Are you using the current version? I think it's pretty good! What don't you like about it?

#34Google Music is pushing into more countries. The only logical consequence.
I switched from Spotify to Google, because:
1) Found a few albums, that disappeared from Spotify a few months ago.
2) 7,99 € vs. 9,99 €
3) Google Music allowed me to shuffle all of my music
4) The app is way better. I can always stop the player from the notification bar (on spotify that was a sometimes pain in the ass )
5) When listening to music on Spotify and someone calls, it wasn't possible to adjust the volume, resulting in your ears getting voice-bombed by the caller

#35On mobile, you can listen to artists, albums and playlists in shuffle mode. Or choose a ready-made playlist to suit your mood. Even though I have a Spotify premium subscription, this is what I do 99% of the time. Thanks, I will be cancelling my premium subscription today.
You're not annoyed by the ads?
Nah, just like listening to the radio.

Hey ashray - pretty much what publicfig said. If you'd like, sign up for the beta testing of "Collection" across multiple platforms: http://community.spotify.com/t5/Spotify-Announcements/Collec...

I just wish google music had a desktop client (or support in chrome) to hook into operating system keyboard shortcuts like play, pause, forward, next, etc.

I've been using sway.fm chrome extension and it seems pretty decent: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/swayfm-unified-mus...
