Spotify Open Changes

I'm sure most of us Spotify Open users have heard of the upcoming changes:

Just wondered what peoples thoughts are on this? I use Spotify at work as a kind of radio (except not using the terrible Artist Radio feature) and will probably now just use online radio/shout cast/bring in music from home on my android.

I think 10 hours is pretty unreasonable, I'd get through that in two days!

I tend to use Last.fm to find new bands, as I have Winamp (home) and Spotify (work) and my HTC Desire (car) scrobbling.

Spotify Free was perfect for me, I doubt I would use any of the Premium features, I have crappy signal for my phone most of the time and the 320kbps would be wasted on the crappy speakers I have at work, the adverts don't bother me much either. There is also a growing list of bands that aren't available on Spotify that I started to listen to on Last.fm
