Spotify sounds very interesting to me. But I don't work there, so cannot really tell if it really works as they describe.

The Spotify app for macOS has a habit of eating 100% for no reason, even when no music is playing. I habitually quit Spotify every time I leave the room. I hate coming back from shopping only to realise that my laptop fans have been running for hours. Poor machine.

These kinds of problems with Spotify, SpotifyHelper, SpotifyWebHelper etc. have been well-documented for years. It would kill me to work for a company with such low engineering standards.

I'm also biased in favour of Spotify because Mattias P Johansson works there. FunFunFunction [1] is one of my favourite programming channels.
