I just upgraded to the premium version of Spotify and was expecting a big audio improvement through my anthem avm pre but feel disappointed. Has anyone here went for the premium package with similar results ?

I thought for sure I would get extra songs like Pink floyd's "The final cut" etc but there is not really that much more music in comparison to the free version

Edit .. Was looking for S.T.D dance from the movie grandma's boy and its still grey'd out ?

    I had Spotify for a month, along with Rhapsody, kept the Rhapsody.
    Spotify was always dropping out, songs just wouldn't play either. Maybe they worked out the bugs by now, I dunno, could just be growing pains too.

    I'm using groove shark premium and Absolutly love it. Fantastic sound quality as good as any cd I've heard great dynamics. Pink Floyd as with the Beatles I think must be tied up real tight legally and can't get of there either but a nice library just the same. And u can download entire albums.

    I was never impressed with the sound quality. It was the buggy software that switched me back to Zune pass.
