Also, what if you genuinely love a lot of music? We do exist.
I would feel drastically unfulfilled music-wise, if I only had around 10 songs to choose from. I listen to music way too often for that. I would absolutely start to get bored of the same songs after a bit. That's only about one album's worth.
For me personally, using a music subscription service just makes sense right now. I am very busy, so I don't have time to pirate everything anymore. I'm not saying that I wouldn't do it again if push came to shove, but I'm not at that point.
I like that I don't have to worry about things being hidden in the files. I like that I don't have to worry about suspicious websites. I like that almost everything that I want to listen to is right there, in the same place. I like that it comes with a music player. It might not be the absolute best sound quality out there, but I also don't have to sort through a ton of apps to find an app that works.
You take me too literally. Just as there is not only 10000 songs there would be more than 10 songs that do it for ya. So that's not even a concern.
I didn't take it literally lol. I was just stating my experience in response to someone else's comment. If I see "1000" and "10" in the parent comment, I'm probably going to use "1000" and "10". It would feel weird if I threw in random new numbers, I guess.
To me, all of this is more of a "you do you" thing. I'm sorry if I made it seem like I was angry or upset with you. I actually think that it's cool that both are options, honestly. Freedom of choice, and all that.
I didn't think you were angry anything. I just wanted to say in proportion there would still be tons of music to consume. I'm similar, I will break into a new genre even when everything starts sounding stale.. except, I know of the hundreds of songs I listen to there is only so much time in the day to find new music and I go back to the stuff that really hit me.
