Spotify soars to 320 million listeners, with 144 million paid members:

Spotify soared past a worldwide listener milestone as the number of people using the service climbed 29% to 320 million in the third quarter, the music streaming service said Thursday. Excluding anyone who listens free with advertising, Spotify's paid members also rose 27% to 144 million, the company said.

The latest figures further cement Spotify as the world's biggest subscription music service.

How does it compare to p2p these days?

    I'm sure the online services and the RIAA have something worked out. After various collection society dues and fees, handling, and other costs, some money eventually* finds its way into the hands of the artists.

    *eventually, meaning in not less than one quarter of a galactic rotation [wikipedia.org]
