If they were smart they would just lean into this and add support for easily looping shorter tracks into some kind of "atmospheric listening" product.

Surely that would bring down their bandwidth costs at the very least.

There are tons of popular paid apps that do this kind of thing already, there's an obvious market for it.

But I haven't found Spotify to be very smart recently, so they'll probably just keep complaining about it, or do something stupid like update their ToS to disallow this kind of thing.



They'll probably just acquire calm.com which does exactly that. Nobody at Spotify is concerned with profitability.
