Two reasons why this is interesting:

1. 2+ million plays on spotify, and only 12K in royalties? That seems like a pittance.

2. Provides a good indication of popularity of various streaming services. Spotify has the clear edge, with only Pandora, and surprisingly Apple Music, able to shake a stick at them.

Ok, three reasons. Who the heck still uses Napster?

You pay 10 a mo for subscription. You listen 50 tracks a day 30 days, 1500 tracks total, 0.005 per play.

12000/2000000 gives the same price per play.

If you think it’s pittance, you should agree to pay 10 times more for subscription. But I guess you won’t.
