re: Spotify gets better and better

I disagree with him completely that iTunes has the same benefits for discovery.
I can't listen to 10 seconds of a song and decide if I like it or not. I don't make enough money to just buy up albums, and I am not the type of person to disrespect a musician and buy just a song. I buy the whole album.
Streaming, and free music allows for me to try out new stuff. I still buy albums, but not until I know I like the artist enough. I have gone to probably 10 concerts within the last year for bands that I didn't know about without free music.
Until torrents, and now Spotify I did not have the ability to hear new music as openly. I probably wouldn't have gone to 50% of those concerts if I relied on iTunes.
Also, I have no idea who Derek Webb is, maybe him and Lars would get along.

The problem is that musicians are still wistfully longing for the glory days when an artist could make a significant amount of money off of an album.
Those days are long gone and they're not coming back. You're best bet is to go with services like spotify, expand your fan base and become road warriors. Or if that's not acceptable I hear McDonald's is hiring, go join the workforce.
