I love it. Yes it's $120 a year and I don't own any music, but I feel good about listening to music legally again, and I don't have to have any space on my phone taken up with music. Sprint, whose data speeds are atrocious, streams spotify really well to my surprise, and that with unlimited data = so easy and I don't even have to think about it.
I agree, of all the services I pay for with the possible exception of electricity and water, the most useful service I pay for each month.
I get Deezer included as part of my EE price plan.
It's one of the reasons I decided to go with EE. Love the service and love having every song (well almost every song) at my fingertips.
Also meant I only needed a 16GB 5S compared to my 64GB 5, so saved a chunk of money there too :-D

You can get Spotify Premium free with Vodafone if you sign up for any of their 4G plans. I'm stuck with O2, but I may switch to Voda in the future...
I seen that. It's a really good deal. I was with Vodafone just before EE but EE just had a better deal for me with the 5S. The Spotify premium with Vodafone 4G is pretty damn good though.
I have Spotify student discount at £5 a month + I had 6 months free with Virgin Media. It's definitely worth the asking price. For customers who can't get 4G with vodafone it's still worth upgrading. You get spotify for £5 extra a month (a £5 discount).
The only downside to Spotify is that you have to wait for the official release date of songs before you can get them. A little 1990's IMO. I shouldn't have to listen to radio to hear the very latest songs now adays.
I love music. In the old days a single CD was like 15 dollars and now I get all the music I want for 10 bucks.
Spotify is incredible. I'm also using Google Play Music all access, on my GS4, and is pretty slick too; on iOS too this month.

Love it but I hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate the fact you can't list you songs on the iPhone app to start with you most recent download. On android you can (I saw it with me own eyes). It's beyond my comprehension why they haven't added this feature yet.
That's just wrong.. When an artist releases a song as a single, it shows up in Spotify immediately. The only time you need to wait is for an album release, which makes perfect sense.. But even when an artist releases singles from a new album that are on the radio, it always goes straight to Spotify even prior to the album release. It shows up under singles by the artist, not at the top with the albums.
I've been using Spotify for 2 years now and this has always been the case.
I've used spotify once but didn't like the interface, so I went with Mog... Same concept different company, and love it... I've been paying for the pass 2 years and don't regret it one bit! I get all the newest album the same day they are released in the music store or iTunes, and the quality is 320 kbps. I then airplay them via my apple TV that is plug to the theater system. I also have Google music all access same thing but for 7.99 instead of 9.99 As soon as they put a iOS app to use it I'll drop Mog and keep Google all access!
Well unfortunately, I know I'm right. There have been countless times when I've heard a song on the radio but it hasn't been on Spotify until its officially released. Much like you can't buy a song on iTunes until it's released as a single or album.
The radio have the promotional period before tracks actually go on sale, up until sale, the only way to have them on demand is youtube.
I'm not interested in the 'Made famous by...' rubbish.
Find me 'Child of the Sun - Tinie Tempah'... It's all over the radio and youtube right now. Not on Spotify. Once it's officially released it'll be there, but if I was going the illegal route of music, I could have it on my Music app right now.
