If they gave half that profit to the artists on there, maybe. But they give about 10% iirc. Give up with these services and just buy the CD, vinyl or whatever. Then listen to your hearts content.
Buying or even pirating literally thousands of albums just wouldn't be feasible for me. Way too much cost, effort, and time. Spotify is well worth it for me as a consumer.
i listen to too much music to be shuffling around CDs while driving
We don't rip CDs anymore so you can store them as MP3s on your phone? People have forgotten how to do that? I'm getting old.
no i do that too with stuff that isnt on spotify. most recently with Dagmar Krause's Tank Battles. but, again, i wouldnt have enough storage space to download all the shit i listen to even if i had all of the CDs ripped
Damn, you must have a massive collection. Solid state memory is fairly cheap these days, even for flac.
i mean i could get a TB sd card for my phone. but im lazy and spotify has most of what i need right there lol
and yeah i have a massive collection, 25,378 songs liked on spotify
Quantity over quality eh? I hope that doesn't happen to subscription-based gaming.
everything i like is quality
How much can I get for one of them bananas?
depends on what you want. all shapes and sizes (especially big size)
Many people that did that have careers and families and a general opportunity cost for their time. Ripping CDs is so unbelievably far down on my priority list it doesn't even register.
What? It takes 5 minutes to pop your new CD in the drive and let Windows Media player handle it for you, track information included.
Priority isn't about LOE.
Good for you.
I have a 1TB sdcard
can i borrow it for the forever
"And so Bittorrent was invented..."
Buy it on Bandcamp and download it. Or rip it to mp3/flac. Then blutooth the phone to the car radio.
bluetooth is not on my car. also Bluetooth quality sucks. also id be spending thousands of dollars to buy all my music
Not all artist release songs on albums or the albums were limited release and are hard to find, but spotify has them.
Go to Bandcamp. Its usually there. Of course that site is in the shit for now thanks to their staff being laid off after a buyout, but the bands are still getting the money.
I buy the the digital release to support the band and just keep listening on Spotify. At that point the band won't get more money out of me for the songs and I get the covience of Spotify
