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.
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
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.
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
As I understand it it gives you features that were available in earlier Versions? Sounds nice!
But I guess it won't give you access to premium content right?
I agree with you here. There may be a better service out there, but I certainly haven't found it yet. I use Spotify in my car (via USB to my phone), in my kitchen, master bath, living room and kids rooms on Google mini's or Amazon Echos... And I don't have to go out and download anything, it just plays what I want when I want it.
