But I think if they get enough traction they should be able to drag the rest of the labels with them. They certainly seem to be light years ahead of Last.fm in terms of catalogue coverage, but the real test will be the big artists who own their own rights: Beatles, Pink Floyd, Led Zep, Eagles. But if iTunes can get the Beatles I don't see why Spotify can't. Yeah, I have the same problems some of the time.

So I'm still waiting for the provided quote to become reality. Of course in theory they will overcome this. But I'm not convinced they will because 95% of people aren't looking for the more obscure bands like I am. And honestly, I am not that obscure in my tastes.
