Spotify Hits 10 Million Subscribers, a Milestone

By BEN SISARIO | May 21st 2014

The company, which made the disclosure on Wednesday, faces potential competition from Apple as it also prepares for a likely initial public offering.

Music; Royalties; Audio Recordings, Downloads and Streaming 

I find I cannot give music the attention it deserves and do the task in hand.

I would not have a random soundtrack to my life.

I would rather do without background "music".

The sound environment  tells me about my local world.

When NPR is not chatter or fundraising it breaks my concentration.

I thought I could multitask once.  I find I cannot.

I don't want to think about music enough to assemble a play list.

My performance never became a pleasure for me.

There are fans of performers, composers and poets that Spotify could be a good bet.  

iTunes and the like are for collectors.
