Cost

"As of 2013, Spotify offered a US$9 per month unlimited subscription package ... In Denmark, for example, the cost is DKK49 (US$9.00) per month (as of 8 December 2013) for an unlimited subscription."

Why only the US and Danish price? This costs £10 in the UK, ie $15. (This is the same Rip-off Britain trick Wikipedia used recently when it asked US uses to donate $3 and UK users to donate £3.) QuentinUK (talk)

Addition of appropriate screenshot using WP:NFCC#4

I have uploaded a low-resolution screenshot of the Windows 10 Spotify app with a generic account "spotifyuser". I am unsure of the correct way to add the image to the infobox.

The screenshot has been uploaded at Spotify_screenshot_08-06-2020.jpg following WP:NFCC#4.

Proposed merge of Criticism of Spotify into Spotify#Criticism

Criticism of Spotify is really nothing but a attack page, evident through it's nonexistant balance and no mentions or representations of Spotify's responses to the vast majority of claims. There is also instances of original research that presents personal statements and opinions of Spotify staff from personal social media pages as though company policy or statements. Although I think that the article could probably just be deleted outright, it might be worth merging a few key 'issues' into this master article, and balancing them out. ItsPugle (please ping on reply) 05:38, 17 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@ItsPugle: I don't believe Criticism of Spotify should be merged with the Spotify page. It is a large page, and the information in it would create a bulky section that would not fit well with the rest of the Spotify page. Whilst the Criticism of Spotify page is certainly imperfect, and could use improvement, it goes into detail that would not fit on a summary page. We need more detailed pages to keep the summary pages from being too full and difficult to navigate, with information likely unnecessary for the average reader. Penumbra01 (please ping on reply) 16:11, 07 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Penumbra01: Merging doesn't mean copy-pasting the entire article. For the largest part, most things in Criticism of Spotify are extraneous and not concise. Having one section with likely three or four subsections (with no more than one or two paragraphs in each) is not too long really. Also, I don't know what you mean by "summary page" - Spotify is not a "summary page", it's a article page used to convey information.

I also don't have any faith that the page will be readily improved. I don't have enough energy or time to improve it myself, and its had a point of view template on it for almost three years. ItsPugle (please ping on reply) 08:16, 9 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
