Even though Spotify shocked the world (and made a lot of people very happy) with its lossless streaming announcement last week, I still don't think you should use it. In my opinion, it's not the best music streaming service by a long shot, and I think I'm going to switch to Qobuz.
True, it'll be a difficult sacrifice to make — Spotify has great UI, fantastic social features, and it has stood the test of time. But I don't think it's the streaming service is for me anymore. On top of its meagre artist payouts (estimated to be about $0.003-$0.006 per stream), Spotify's CEO has made some investments that don't sit right with me, ethically, and to top it all off, its new lossless streaming rate isn't even that impressive.
