I wonder how many others are the same way and how that negatively affects their revenue.
Funny how they didn't vet the generated content: https://freeyourmusic.com/en/transfer-spotify-to-spotify
We still support migrating to Spotify. We want people to be able to migrate FROM and TO any music service. They get to decide what platform they want to be on. And yes, you can import your songs between accounts on the same platform.
If this sounds interesting feel free to ping me at twitter @bartosz
Funnily, they recommend Spotify as the best music streaming platform here: https://freeyourmusic.com/en/blog/best-music-streaming-platf...
That is from February 10th

Are you genuinely unable to see the difference between the two revenue models? I'm really not all that interested in absurd hypotheticals. If I buy a Coke at my grocery store, Coke's getting some of that money. If I buy a Pepsi, Coke gets none of that. I can boycott specific companies while still buying groceries, and again, opting out of food is an issue. If Rogan were an optional premium paid add-on channel on Spot…
> If I buy a Coke at my grocery store, Coke's getting some of that money. If I buy a Pepsi, Coke gets none of that. And if you subscribe to Spotify but don't listen to Rogan, Rogan also gets none of that. If you believe otherwise, please explain how.
Rogan's not being paid per stream like song artists are.
If I pay for Spotify, my $10/month revenue goes to pay their expenses. One of those expenses is Rogan's $100M contract.
The mere act of shopping at the grocery store doesn't send money to Coca-Cola. I have to specifically buy one of their products.
I'm one of those speak with my wallet kind of people. So when I seen news of this yesterday I wrote into their support saying I was not pleased with it. Their response was some random canned response about how you can still export your data. I'm not a fan of lock in, and I'm even less thrilled about not actually responding to my actual questions and instead giving me some canned BS. I responded back telling them than…
It's a little surprising to me that you'd expect better customer support from a service with >248 million[1] monthly active users. Having worked for/with departments like this, they have to heavily optimise for their response rate, and use as many macros to respond as possible, which's probably your case as I'd assume that many customers contacted them with the same question. By all means, always speak with your wall…
Nice

If companies weren't making millions or billions of dollars in pure profit, I'd be more inclined to agree with this line of thought. But their profit/cost ratios are high enough to offer more customer service than they currently are. And ultimately, it's not the customer's fault that the business is not working from a sustainable business model.
But if there was a profitable model where they offer great customer service wouldn't they? Or at least a competitor would come in who did. I don't believe spotify is making millions or billions in pure profit. Their competitors are able to position their products as loss leaders. I agree some companies could do much better, Google is a massive example, but you still have to remember the scale. Read somewhere, If 0.1%…
They wouldn't offer great customer service, they'll offer what they feel they can get away with. And there were competitors but they were pushed out (remember RDIO?, good times).
I organize everything in foobar now, both local music and streaming playlists with the help of extensions. You can add Youtube sources to your playlists. Even if the links break, you can automatically fix them, keep the name and structure. Have not tried the app versions.

You have to explain how Rogan would get more money if you subscribe to Spotify, than if you didn't subscribe.
