By the 2011, 80% of the music on Spotify was accessed via a P2P network. That save a lot of money for server maintanance to a former startup and reduced their workload due to a sudden increase in the popularity of the service.

As the company grew, the need for the use P2P networks fade away. Therefore, Spotify decided in the coming months to completely shut down the entire P2P network. Service will henceforth rely on their own servers. In time, and after stopping P2P networks, service users will not feel any changes or difficulties in working Spotify.
