Spotify says it needs more time to make money• Help us work out how much it costs to run SpotifyOne of the men behind internet radio service Spotify says
the company needs more time to develop its business - once again casting the spotlight on the difficulties of making money from online music.In a post on
the company's blog, co-founder Daniel Ek said that Spotify "has a long way to go" and was still trying to avoid joining dozens of other startups in what he called the "digital music graveyard"."The notion of overnight success is very misleading and actually rather harmful to any hope for long term and sustainable growth in this industry," he said. "Yet this is unfortunately something the music industry as a whole is particularly good at, expecting business models to be proven within months of inception."Spotify - which is based in Stockholm and
london - offers users free music on demand if they also listen to adverts, or gives them the chance to gain more advanced, advertising-free services by subscribing for £10 a month.
