This is a terrible idea, in my opinion. It would effectively cause users to "budget" the music they play, e.g.: "If I play that Rihanna song after playing 10 songs from my favorite indie band this month, it'll severely dilute the money going to them." The last thing Spotify wants is people not playing music for moral reasons.


I'd suggest that almost none of the users would be aware of this anyway, so their usage patterns wouldn't in any way shift.


Pretty sure Spotify would have no problem with people who are paying for Premium choosing to not listen to music. Saves bandwith and doesn't reduce revenue, what is to not want?
