You know what, this makes me feel a lot better about using an ad-blocker when using their site. Although, I would prefer if the artists I listen to didn't exclusively use Spotify for some reason.

Why are you not moving to a different distribution model where you'll get what you're worth? I'll go where the music is. If you keep putting it on Spotify then I'll play it on Spotify.
Spotify has the market pretty much cornered, though.

Someone mentioned Faircamp recently. I haven't had a chance to look into it properly but it looks great!
This is one of the reasons I use soundcloud when listening to music.
I don't even like using Spotify or Pandora, it's full of ads and I can't play what I want to play. I just go to YouTube or download what I want. Their structure sucks.
Spotify doesn't really have ads. Only the horrible free plan does and you are obviously not supposed to use it. It's designed to be as bad as possible to make people switch.
While YouTube is alright for music it's very inconvenient compared to Spotify. The same multiplied by 100x applies to downloading all your music.
