I haven't had any issues with Spotify. I've discovered a bunch of new artists since joining a couolr years ago. I even remember the very first. I had no idea who Token was. Now I'm a fan. What's wrong with this kind of thing? I'll admit it's not as good as old fashioned radio used to be but it's still great, and being ad-free when paid is pretty amazing.
Honestly, I'm still just buying albums and listening to the odd thing on Youtube with adblockers and all that. Costs less than a Spotify subscription as long as I don't go mad, and I like basically all the music I listen to.
Modded Spotify Premium w/ gold theme by RockMods, download from Mobilism. Works really well, been using it for months. Checks out with all the antivirus scanners I use, and most stuff on Mobilism is safe (there's exceptions of course, but I'm sure you know how to be safe if you mention torrenting). Create a separate spotify account for it just in case it gets "fixed" though. Seems well supported by updates. Much better to the alternative - torrent client for downloading 'Linux ISOs'...
