The entire thing is written in a curmudgeonly fashion, led by that massive list of musicians.

We get it, you like classical music and Spotify is a poor fit. That's... the article?

For my classical music use case, listening to new releases, Spotify works very well, particularly with the help of 3rd-party services.

I follow several thousand composers and musicians. I then get daily playlist creation by crabhands.com of any new releases by those I follow. I then export the crabhand playlist into my own local database via exportify.net. I then create Spotify playlists of music I haven't heard that I may like as well as the released works I like best. Then I score the works I've listened to and feed that back into the system. So I get a deluge of new releases but play it in an organized fashion.

It's not a long article, and is quite amusing to read. People have such high expectation of free articles on the internet.
