I've just subscribed to tidal (was spotify before) for $20/month. I'm now quite happily spending $240/year which is significantly more than I ever spent on CDs(I think I bought 3 CDs in the Sam year once...). Even at $10/month for spotify I was still spending far more money than I ever spent previously. I can't believe that the industry can't flourish on that kind of income per listener. Perhaps the problem is that the majority of spotify listeners for instance aren't actually subscribers?

What % of listeners are not paying? It seems mad that for $10 a month you can get no ads and download music to your phone and you don't pay the fee!
