The ads are visual in the app. I don't believe they are audio. At least, I hadn't heard any.
So far my issue is that the only way to find new music is either to try out someone's published playlist or have friends recommend it to you via the app. Which does me no good at all. Maybe I'll try Pandora as Spotify doesn't seem to be the answer. People are saying it's the solution to digital music but I think it's missing one big part. There doesn't seem to be a solution for people like me, who don't know that many people who's music tastes are anywhere close to theirs (most of my friends prefer top 40's rubbish) so recommendations like that aren't going to help. And I don't know who to follow for good ones.
If someone could implement something like Pandora into Spotify it'd be perfect. But unless I'm mistaken (and I really, really want to be) it's not.
That and streaming on mobiles is only handy if you don't use subways so I'm still going to keep most of my music on my iPod.
For music recommendation I have it scrobble what I play to last.fm (I think it only scrobbles the tracks that you finish listening too) then I use http://spotibot.com/ to generate a playlist based on what I listen too. I know it's a hassle, but the results are better than what I've gotten from Pandora.
