Spotify already has an extremely restricted selection of songs. Even for popular artists it's ridiculous how narrow of a selection is in their library.

It's 2017, there's plenty of alternative services and discovery paths to finding music, and musicians.

Discogs, Bandcamp, Hardwax and Boomkat have been more than enough for all my music needs with curation from Resident Advisor and Pitchfork. I got the free month to Spotify recently to see if I have any need for it, but I've been mostly playing my own music anyways, so I guess I'll just cancel that subscription.

So an even further limited and curated source?
