Nice, thanks for the rec. I'd seen beets as well which also looks good.

Spotify is definitely the lowest hanging fruit for culling on my subscription list. The API was very much part of the value proposition.

I don't believe it's even that good a deal for artists. I heard the mighty Snoop Dogg makes like USD 40K a year off it or something stupid like that.

Snoop Dogg made USD 40k for one song, which also has multiple songwriters on it. There’s a good breakdown in [1].

Key phrase from that research:

> I'm not sure how much royalties you can expect when you're one of 17 credited songwriters on one song you don't even own which samples a song that also samples songs...I think $45k is pretty damned good.

What would be the non-stupid amount for Snoop Dogg to make off it?
