I recently subscribed to Spotify music, at home and in my car. I got the free version, IOW the one with commercials. I don't see the big deal though. When I was a kid, they used to say, commercials were when you used the bathroom or got a snack. Actually all the free stuff they had when I was a child, TV, concerts, seminars, came with the catch there was something like a commercial associated with it. Actually it reminds me of that time too. With stuff on the internet, if you're a paid member you usually get more features. But it's usually not worth it.
