Yep.

Even if Amazon would claim the money you owe in realtime, they probably wouldn't shut you down if your prepaid hits zero.

I use a prepaid for my Kindle purchases and Amazon processes the order even if the payment gets rejected, following up with increasingly insistent reminder emails.

The first one is more subtle, but he's even more brazen.

"For you must know that without Ceres and Bacchus Apollo grows cold."

Ceres is the goddess of fertility. Bacchus the god of booze.

You'd be targeting a niche market, not only because of the 3% market mentioned in the article, but because I imagine that all "serious" classical fans (i.e. serious enough to switch to consider using a dedicated streaming service) is also likely to have a big album collection. In other words, you'd likely be targeting a very fast-saturated market.

And that's besides the legal/licensing horrors.

That being said, I think there might be some promise in an add-on for spotify (web-api / browser extension) or iTunes. Just extend the interface with some more metadata. Surely there are some good databases that can be relied on.
