    I'm all for sending the odd promotional email, particularly when it's suit. But 20 in less than seven days? That's spam.

    I don't like what the future of music streaming looks like - a patchwork of exclusives on one platform but not the other. Somehow feels much more irritating than switching between Prime and Netflix for video.
