>Pandora and Google Play Music ... put ads in the audio stream

Why would you want to encourage Spotify to adopt this horrible practice? I don't WANT ads injected into the audio.

You misunderstand.

I'm fine with paying for the service and DO (Spotify Premium).

I also use other services on occasion and HATE when the audio is interrupted with ads.

Show visual ads all day long, that's fine. Audio ads just suck. Especially when they raise the volume threshold for commercials.

Oh, like cable, Amazon Prime video, etc... where you pay for the service and STILL get ads?
