I'm staying with Spotify, but here go some of my thoughts.
OK so while we're having hot discussions about Spotify, let me say a few things this way:
If you refuse to listen to me over at Spotify (I totally understand by the way. They only pay me .003 of a penny each time you stream a song there, that's nearly criminal) you can get my songs completely free many places. I make a tiny bit of money at some of these when you listen for free, and other places I get nothing, but racking up "hits" helps me feel heard, to be sure.

and
http://www.soundcloud.com/atizine
are some good places to start.
Some of my electronica work is over at https://soundation.com/group/SoundDesignAnswers/tracks?page=2
And if you want to actually buy some of my songs, you can still go to amazon or itunes. When you listen to snippets before buying there I get a tiny bit too. Perhaps more than at spotify, I'm not actually sure. I haven't checked lately.
And frankly, the best place to listen to my songs where I'll recover many pennies instead of .003 of a penny is over at TikTok.
Yes, the place mainly driven by teenagers and preteens dancing the Carlton, Orange Justice and the Jerk. Maybe if we're lucky they'll start reviving the Locomotion, Electric Boogaloo, Charleston and Jitterbug or something right?
