    Solid business decision by Spotify here, I support this move. I’ll probably switch over to them from YouTube music.

        What’s Spotify’s goal with this move

        Get people to pay for premium…

          So someone can ignore the ads, ignore not being able to chose a song, and ignore no download. But having to open musixmatch in a separate app is the straw that broke the camels back

            The idea of suddenly having something taken away fro you really triggers people.

            If they had introduced as premium from start, then no would have cared about it.

            It seems they were right going by how upset people are in here. Many of these people that are carrying on like spoiled children will no doubt subscribe to premium now.

        The goal is that now that they’ve been caught pirating lyrics, they have to pay MusixMatch for their lyrics, perhaps on a per request basis, so they lose money by making it available.
