Those up on the Numbers k**w **t to believe the hype...despite the constant media coverage devoted to Spotify and streaming as the future of the music industry, if you've read up on the subject you'll k**w that the service has yet to turn a profit.

Apparently special rates offered to college students aren't helping the bottom line.
