Why not just use spotify? If you are building a commercial service a blockchain just complicates matters and gives no benefit.

If you are building a piracy service a blockchain just complicates things and adds no value.

A pretty good rule of thumb is that if you can replace block chain with a database or anything else and lose no functionality, not to mention remove the whole thing together and simplify your solution it's not block chain but bullshit.

Spotify doesn't have the music I want to listen to.
