I’m shocked that people consider 1 CD per month to be expensive for access to millions of albums.

Not to mention I find Spotify's discover weekly feature to be worth at least 50% of it's monthly cost. Every week it generates a 30-song playlist tailored to my tastes and I end up saving probably 10 of those songs on average to my collection. I find it to be really well done.

Okay everybody has raved about discover weekly; I've only had 2 of them now, but have yet to hear a track I don't already know, much less an artist. I mean I enjoyed them but it hasn't lived up to its name of "discover" yet; it's so far been popular tracks of fairly well known artists.

Quickly browsing through the current list, about half of them are songs I've heard on the radio in the past month.
