Spotify has paid more than two billion dollars to labels, publishers and collecting societies for distribution to songwriters and recording artists.

The main reason people want to pay for Spotify is really portability. People are saying, 'I want to have my music with me.'

It disturbed me that the music industry had gone down the drain, even though people were listening to more music than ever and from a greater diversity of artists.

In general, people are comfortable sharing their music. There are two exceptions, though - Lady Gaga and Britney Spears.

With Spotify, people don't get it until they try it. Then they tell their friends.

I actually bought a travel guitar, and that guitar is really cool. You can actually fold the guitar, and you can plug headphones into it, but it's acoustic, or semi-acoustic.

People just want to have access to all of the world's music.
