I actually do still buy albums. If I find myself listening to an album a whole lot of Spotify, I will usually buy the album. I know I'm not the average user in that regard, though. I've often thought that streaming services should limit the number you can listen to an album before you have to buy it. I suppose the one issue with that would be that it would make the authentication verification pretty tough on their end.
Can I ask a really, really dumb question?
Do people use streaming services on their smartphones?
Where I live (Canada) our cell phone plans are pretty expensive, and my relatively cheap plan has just 3 gigs a month of data. Wouldn't I blow through that pretty quickly if I was streaming music?

Sorry I see you have 3 Gigs... so I wouldn't recommend heavy streaming of music over your data plan. If you go over, the charge could be more than the standard $10/month for unlimited streaming/downloading.
I bet Apple could also track this but it would be interesting to see the number of downloads after someone discovers something through the streaming service.Enjoyed your blogs.... Hey do you have any details on artist compensation pre-streaming, as opposed to now? I have no clue what $0.002 translates into, compared to royalties in the past?
