For Spotify it sort of makes sense though, right? It buffers a few songs ahead of time so using any free RAM seems valid

The average spotify 3:40 song is going to be about 4MB. This only changes to triple (10MB at the same length for premium and high quality) that size when you pay for it.

If Spotify is using more than 50MB on the audio cache, they absolutely deserve to get ragged on for it.

Ah true, that is pretty bad then

I don't think it buffers more than one song ahead right, that would be wasteful?
