Is it just me that is gutted that this isn't available for the non-premium members? I would have quite happily continued to use the occasional audio advert experience on my phone.

Opposite, I am very happy it premium only

I havent got my premium account yet, there hasnt been a particularly pressing reason to do so.

However if spotify is to survive they need to make money, and advertising it a pretty low margin for such a expensive service to run.

down the line, someone needs to pay for something, advertising alone doesnt make for a sustainable economy.
