Exactly. Georgios' Dilemma. But, who here knows how it is pronounced? Yes, that's right. Me.
Schlam => Slam

Cliff, Fred,
Problem is Spotify and/or people behind them, are fabricating fake artists and pushing them into their playlists to profit for themselves at the cost of real artists. We are talking about millions of plays generated by quite a few fake bands. Have you heard of this, Ken?

I heard a story about Jokerfan somewhere (Radiolab?) he makes something like $40-50000 a year from his songs, not millions

@FʡFʢ (: not saying this isn't what Spotify is aiming for. They're actually buying many researchers in machine learning applied to music. For a lot of money. So there is something to it

If you pronounce his name with an emphasis on Johnny rather than Cash, it sounds like a product in an infomercial.

fred,
Yes, machine learning making music is great! But now when is used to take unfair advantage over real artists. Same type of fraud was uncovered by Spain police last month (google SGAE fraud).
