I tried to take the test but the first song was the killers, so I closed it before the song loaded.
Guess its not for me.

You know the funniest part when they talk about lossless high quality audio?
LOTS of people still listen to their music with the ultra crappy Apple earbuds... And lots of other cheap earbuds brands. The sound quality is awful with those.
So lossless or not, they couldn't tell the difference between 128kbs VS lossless audio. All they hear in those earbuds is the treble, all the bass is dead... you need to push on it with your fingers to hear the bass.
- next they are gonna introduce artist branded earbuds optimized for high quality files?uan
- like beats by dr. dre?mekk
- same reason ordinary people don't leap to buy 4k tvs.zenmasterfoo

If the artists regularly deliver great first hand content to this new service...yes, it will work.
this thing should be cheaper though, they should be less greedy!

But that's the point, to give the "artist" more money (no free option, a la Taylor Swift's boycott of Spotify because it has a "free" options w/ ads, Beats will not have a free option, either, I don't think).
It'll be interesting to see. Personally I just can't get behind anything that JZ and Kanye put their names on (I would give Neil Young's version a try, though).
Pandora and company could kill this in a second, though, just charge a few bucks more for better quality. I'd do that.
It'll be more interesting to see if Beats works (I am really starting to think Apple has seen it's best day). I think it'll be a big fail, waaaaay too long for them to wait to relaunch w/ nothing new.

Love the way they're dressing it up as if it's 'for the people, man'...
It's just a way to make them more rich. More festering capitalist shite. No difference between millionaire 'artists' and millionaire CEOs.
I'll be filing this whole thing under bullshit.

its such a crock of shit.. all these aritsts are major label commodities.. they talk about bringing the money back to the artists, but they are all label slaves.. the money goes back to the label.. and they then get their share..
unless of course they are releasing all new music, and they all decide not to be signed to Sony, Columbia etc..
- They, do not suffer from piracy,wealthy as fuck, for 3 generations. What are they complaining about.ApeRobot

The artists and labels just want more money than Spotify is paying, that's all. That's where this comes from.
Everyone was making a lot of money on digital sales until Spotify became the popular app.

Signs up for free, gets billed 20 bucks. ugh.

$20 a month is way too expensive. That said, all my favourite talentless dickheads are backing it. What to do?

Jay Z buying and rebranding a music streaming company will revolutionize the way we listen to music the way Justin Timberlake revolutionized social media when he bought MySpace.

but in all seriousness... I've been a Spotify paid subscriber for a few years and love it. If they offered a higher quality audio for a few bucks more than the $9.99 I've been paying I might do it although I probably wouldn't be able to hear a difference playing my lap top through my old receiver and/or any of the sub par headphones I own.

Only way I'd use it would be if Ukit was a curator you could follow. I do not trust some label pop whore to tell me what music is good for a "workout".

How many billions in net worth was on that stage complaining about artists not getting paid?
