Ella: Nowhere in the article are artists even mentioned

This is not pandora charms clearance sale just about Pandora, of course. Spotify would benefit from any adjustment in royalty rates as well. The founder of Spotify has gone on record, in a recent Wall Street Journal article, as envisioning Spotify being able to customize your playlists based on your location(such as when your smart phone detects you are at your gym or in your home).
