Spotify slashes free music allowance
They struck without warning. And they hit us hard. Spotify have set new limits for non-paying users of their music streaming service. From 1 May, anyone who has had the software since last November or earlier will be limited to 10 hours a month (down from 20 hours for Spotify Open users). New users will get six months on the old terms before the switch.
Even worse, each individual track will be capped at five plays forever, so once your five plays are up you either have to buy the track or subscribe.
Spotify Free users will not be happy – people who managed to sign up early enough or bag an invite and have so far enjoyed unlimited ad-supported streaming are now in the same camp as everyone else.
But the record labels, rumoured to have put the pressure on Spotify, will hope that more people will cough up some cash for the service. Will listening to your favourite tracks on repeat be enough to make you subscribe or will you jump the Spotify ship? Leave your comments below.

I think more people will leave (or not join Spotify in the first place).
What a load of rubbish!
I listen to Spotify, every day, but no more my greedy friends.
Show me where Groove Shark is!

What, people really can't afford a tenner per month? That's half a Domino's pizza. Three pints of beer. One lunch in Starbucks. One CD.
I happily pay my £10 because of all the extra stuff it gets me, like iPhone and Sonos integration.
I'd say it's greedy to crow about the measly cost, to be honest!
So ner.

For £10 a month I get as much music as I can use on my PC, my phone, and my two Squeezebox players. Good value? I'd say so.
Unless of course what you do is steal your music then clearly £10 is way too much.

I simply can't afford yet another subscription, so my freebie Spotify account will probably become dormant. What a shame.
So its back to FM radio, CD player & maybe a bit of iPod. Is We7 still any good??

Our heart rates tend to increase. Music can actually help our Neil Diamond Tickets heart rates slow down to a more relaxing pace, changing our physiology. This phenomenon is what can help me fall asleep more easily. Luke Bryan Tickets It's what is found with many meditation tapes or other music specifically designed for stress reduction or relaxation.
