Why Should I Continue This Service?

Question

I loaded Spotify last night to try it out properly for good, to see whether all the hype by an old music buddy of mine was worth the money and time invested in sharing with other members of the Spotify community, creating playlists of music that I like and finding like-minded people online and creating a personalized radio station akin to the one I had going at one time when I still had a day job - listening to PANDORA. I created a custom playlist using songs selected from Nirvana, Eels, The Metroschifter, Jimi Hendrix, The Fugees, Johnny Cash, Kanye West, Led Zeppelin, Tower Of Power, Eve 6, M.I.A., Paul Simon, The Smashing Pumpkins, Elliot Smith, Death Cab for Cutie, Sandrine and Radiohead. I then started a new radio station based upon the selected playlist I had created. I did this through two modules of code from the right click on the list itself and the search suggestion of the custom list itself - thinking maybe there was some janky glitch in the software which was playing the suggested music improperly as the player didn't seem to work well when I first loaded it, freezing at times and doing nothing - both modes connected me to the same custom radio playlist selections. By signing up for Spotify Premium and committing myself to what would become a yearly habit of spending ~$120 a year on music or the equivalent of 120 singles on iTunes and their accompanying Genius playlist creation, I ended up with the following as suggestions for music to listen to based upon the aforementioned artists. Thin Lizzy, Ted Nugent, Iron Maiden, Ram Jam, The Doors, Van Halen, ZZ Top, Guns N' Roses, Led Zeppelin, Judas Priest (That one took about 15 suggested likes and dislikes and 40 skips of user feedback from me to get it to pop up), AC/DC - OVER AND OVER AND OVER, skipping song after song after song and getting the same garbage. Yes, I like some of the songs from artists listed as playback and indicated as such with a positive and negative feedback accordingly, but hardly a custom radio station does this make. Is the algorithm so good that it can improve my life by getting me to round out my musical tastes by getting me to listen to more 80’s rock? No.
Either Spotify has a major flaw in their algorithm for music selection, they take forever to process user feedback, they just can't get it right, they should be paying me and not the opposite to help them develop their software or they just plain SUCK! So tell me why I should keep this service another second longer, let alone till the end of the day? Waiting... Ryan Sackrider

Thanks to all. In fact I used Manually backup for all songs and cover, BUT IT DOESN?T WORK WITH DOWNLOADED GAMES. When I formatted i chenged from an ipod 3rd gen to an ipod 4th gen. I've tried to restore my hand-made music backup and it works. I've tried to restore my hand-made game backup and it lacks. So i tried to download again from istore because i bought Texas Hold'em weeks before. Istore confirms it's already bought and simply doesn't allow to dawload the game again.
I'm gonna try with the last release of iTunes.
By the way thanks a lot to everyone
