I will have to see what the pricing is and if there are any extras. Currently I pay Napster 5 pounds per month for unlimited streaming via PC, but that includes 5 free downloads to keep (I actually use the option to pay 15 pounds every 3 months, which gives better value as you get 15 track credits and can get full albums for around 8 credits, and use the rest on single tracks)

The only advantage Spotify on Tivo will possibly have, for me, is it will eliminate the fan noise from my PCs, that does detract from feeding the music through good audio equipment.

The Spotify exclusive bit could be good and bad; we could get cheaper spotify pricing, but we may not see alternative music services such as We7, LastFm and Napster on tivo, some of which offer better or different options to Spotify in my view.
