Paul Smith of the Fin:
In response to criticism from the likes of Radiohead’s Thom Yorke – who described Spotify as “the last desperate fart of a dying corpse,” Spotify has unveiled a new online tool, which works in a similar way to Google Analytics for websites, allowing artists to view how many people are listening to their songs.
A nice little tool for musicians using Spotify.
