Something is going to have to give. Either artists quit bemoaning Spotify OR they withdraw their music.

Spotify has created a business model that works for them. If it isn't working for individual labels or artists they can withdraw their music and provoke a change in Spotify's business model.

Spotify's value exists because of the huge range of music it supports. If you take that away Spotify will be forced to react.

Perhaps the simplest thing Spotify could do is charge more for power users. I've listened to 46,000 tracks on Spotify. Charging people like me more would mean they could up the price paid to artists.
