As we all know, Spotify has turned down integration with Roon.
My speculation is that Spotify uses their front-end to track all manners of usage, and that information would be limited to songs played in a Roon front end design.
How can we incentivize Spotify to get on with Roon integration?
What if users agreed to share the titles in their local libraries, playlists, ratings, etc with Spotify? Roon users generally have deep local libraries, usually in less popular genres such as classical, jazz, blues, etc, which could give Spotify an edge in these areas. BTW… Apple Music is already getting this information off of iTunes I’m sure.
Would Roon users be ok sharing the contents of their libraries?
No. I definitly don’t want to share my local library and my personal usage of the library with anybody, especially not with a profit oriented company.
I also don’t want a webcam in my bathroom
These things are private
I wouldn’t mind at all. If you use iTunes I am pretty sure Apple knows everything you have (obviously true if you opt for Music Match). Spotify could better tailor recommendations for me if it knows what music I own.
My feeling is that there is too much of this already going on and now it’s just becoming a way of life that all these corporations have info on you so they can market you better…enough already.
