- mootothemax 12y agoSpotify is not the one reasonable way of paying for music. Purchasing drm-free downloads, physical CDs, cassettes, and vinyl are the reasonable ways. It's a damned convenient service though. My iTunes library is huge. I still end up listening to the same albums with my (paid) Spotify subscription for the pure convenience alone. Edit: I've just remembered the boxes upon boxes of CDs I have in storage in the uk. That's five years, doubt I've given them a second thought for at least the last four.
- lostlogin 12y agoI recently loaded my CDs into the bin after ripping them all - though even the ripped cloud library is rarely touched. The removal of hundreds of CDs was fantastic. There were a couple of live performance CDs I have which were recorded at concerts I attended, I kept them. The mass of physical media is now gone.
- ljf 12y agoIf you want to pay for music / support artists you love, then seeing them perform (and paying for it) is the best way of getting cash into their pockets and not the record company's.
