The problem with spotify (from my perspective as a musician in a small band) is that unless you are the most popular music act there is spotify money is nothing. Even a somewhat popular act that is played on national radio and plays on festivals will often earn more selling shirts on a single tour than they will with a year of spotify.
The bigger you are the more you earn per stream and the small ones will earn next to nothing.
