Honestly half a cent per play is more than I'd expect. That's 2000 plays to hit the price of an album. There are several artists that I play ~1,000 times a year according to last.fm, so if we assume a two-year cycle I'm basically buying every album those artists put out in the period I'm listening.
Weirdly there's only one song I've "bought" with 200 Spotify plays since I started last.fm about a year and a half ago.
I guess I'm still screwing over all the other artists I listen to.

Spotify is convenient. If streaming music didn't exist and a artist was relying on me to feed them they would have starved to death a long time ago.
