#2So that's like ~$400M of income per month? Their expenses are mostly royalties and those are probably spare change compared to that income. Not bad!

Maybe now they can start building basic quality of life features like offline Last.FM scrobbling that have been in demand for 4+ years!

They already have offline for anybody with premium. It's a slider on any playlist to download it to disk.
Though I may misunderstand what you're asking for, as I don't quite get the Last.FM comment.

I imagine, they want people to do all their music listening on spotify, implementing scrobbling would seem counter to that goal.

#6I'm happy their subscriber counts are up, but I've noticed a steep negative trend their library selection in the last month. I poked around a bit for more info. All I could find were complaints that they don't publish this information anymore.
Does anyone know how to see if my anectdote is a trend?
Perhaps they lost some contracts with major labels, or perhaps there is a way to probe their search API to estimate their library size.

He's asking to have offline plays saved and submitted to Last.FM when you go back online vs attempting to send them to Last.FM even when offline

I doubt a significant number of people use that feature to make it worth for them to spend time implementing it

#9Spotify has achieved what no normal entity could. Go them for having a relatively decent free to play with, I'm assuming, a good pay to play model as well.

They've already implemented scrobbling, I think the previous poster was asking for offline plays to be scrobbled too.
