Just a quick explanation of why we don't use Spotify links on Listening To This Week. There isn't an IDHAS Spotify account and I have never had a Spotify account. It isn't how I want to listen to music. Almost 8 years into I Don't Hear A Single. it isn't worth starting now.
Putting a Spotify embed up would have little benefit to the artist with us not having an account. IDHAS has a sizeable following and they are used to links not being on Spotify. So the biggest benefit is to embed other links that can be used and accessed free.
If I opened a Spotify account now, it would never get the volume of interest to benefit musicians. The recent change in Spotify terms regarding Indie artists most likely means that no Indie Musician gets any benefit whatsoever from Spotify.
So LTTW wise, I only ever use Spotify links if specifically requested by the artist or if there is no alternative link available.
