I will continue to not use Spotify. Buying drm free music is a long term win.
Where do you get your drm free music? I've been using Spotify for a while but am very interested in switching. Do you use Bandcamp? Do they have basically everything a person could want or do you get your music from somewhere else?
All purchased download music is pretty much drm free, wish other forms of media were without having to sail the high seas.
