I think we'll see more battles in the coming years between Apple and Spotify over exclusive rights for the music of artists that aren't on either service.

Sidenote: I'm curious how iTunes Radio has done since they released it. I haven't heard from anyone who prefers that over Pandora or Spotify's offering. It'd be a large acquisition by their (or anyone's) standards, and I know I'm not saying anything revolutionary here, but there have to be discussions that have happened/will continue to happen about Apple buying Spotify.

Re: Sidenote:

I tried out iTunes Radio last night, thinking "this'll be cool!" About two songs into it, they played an ad for Macy's. I'll stick with Rdio, thanks.

Sounds about right. I gave it a try because of their Beatles catalogue, but went back to Spotify after a few sessions.
