Spotify

Hey Boxee Team,

Just curios to the logic behind why using spotify on a boxee was deemed a premium service for a home device when its free for desktops/laptops/etc. I honestly can see why spotify moble can be constituted a premium service (you are on the go!) The confusion I have is why?

I mean I just as easily grab a cheap-o laptop off craigslist and plop an hdmi port then hook it up to my tv. This would serve a similar effect to get a free spotify service. However once I did this for eh $225? I would also negate the use of a boxee all together (with my droid or blackberry controlling said laptop via a 20 dollar bluetooth dongle) mind you a boxee cost 200 if you do the math by ploping down 50 extra in this way negates a boxee purchase all together.

Honestly I look at the whole premium that is a prose stiffing boxee to the point where its pretty useless. So umm your rebuttal?

AFAIK Boxee can't do anything about how a content provider want to let users access their content i.e. Free or Paid. All three music streaming apps available on BoxeeBox Spotify, Mog & Grooveshark needs a premium/paid account to access their app. All three has ad-supported free desktop/browser version as well.. You should be asking Spotify to make available their app access to free users on BoxeeBox.

would prefer premium pay services to be resipitories... unless there throwing boxee a bone thats fine... but if alll anyone gets is annoyance... and boxee isnt getting $$.. then clear them all
