"Reading these reviews I get the impression that NO ONE knows or even thinks about where this music comes from."
I'm not exactly sure what the point of this comment is. If artists are not making any money from Spotify, then why is it being granted legal licenses to stream the music? What exactly is the business model of Spotify, and if the model isn't working for the record companies or the artists, then why don't you stop doing business with it?
It seems like you're complaining because Spotify isn't the cash cow you though it would be, or someone told you it would be. Well, then change the relationship. Charge them more money for licenses. Make them pay more for each song played/streamed. Put them out of business. I don't care. It's not the consumer's problem. That is an issue between you and them.
We use the service the way we see fit, not the way you expect us to or tell us to. If that's unacceptable, then pull your music from the service. I don't see what the problem is here or what we as consumers have to do with it.
I buy plenty of music from iTunes and Amazon even though I might use a service like Spotify to primarily listen to music, like the radio. That's my choice. If that's bad for you, then put pressure on Spotify to change how the service works. Then I'll decide whether I want to continue using Spotify at all. See how that works? It's an open market, where people make choices. That's Capitalism 101.

Record companies have what is known as "copyright protection" as corporate entities.
Musicians have what is known as "publishing rights" as far as their own compositions go, if they decide to fight for them. Not all musicians are up to filling out the volume of paperwork to keep their publishing (in the US, through ASCAP or BMI). Publishing rights amount to about to a fraction of what the copyright-holders receive.
I, however, DO the paperwork, and AM a publishing entity. I ALSO OWN my own label, and the copyright, with 35 CDs released on it. I've also recorded for Timeless, Concord, Fantasy, Black Lion, Maxjazz, and more. Those labels retain the copyright.
I DO get paid quite well from iTunes. Rhapsody is becoming better at paying the publishing rights. There are MANY thousands of sites that pay. But I still feel that, if you can go to the artist's web site and buy directly from them, you are supporting the artist and not a corporation. Even if they are people too.
My business model is much closer than yours to the Ayn Rand Objectivist model of Capitalism (which I despise). Pay the creator FIRST.
I respect your argument. I just don't think the playing field is level, yet. This is an entirely NEW model for music distribution, and has not been properly regulated, yet. Oh, those pesky regulations!
Capitalism 101. It seems to work SO WELL for ALL of the people. Particularly the corporate people.
Again, I DO respect your argument. Merry Christmas.

Of the few internet radio channels I listen to, most are independents not found in the commercial services / apps. Does Spotify have a way to add these, or is one (yet again) locked into only what this company considers worthwhile?
