Martin Varsavsky used a fitting analogies for the service:

"[...] Spotify is like iTunes but with on-demand. It’s like Joost, but for music! It´s like Pandora without the need to vote and with your ability to listen to music anytime you want. It´s like Last FM without the community."

Spotify was founded by Daniel Ek and Martin Lorentzon
