You're by and large talking to an audience that was fine with Napster. -- nm - Dano Dec 1, 10:00
I don't stream, but consumers aren't going back to CDs, and they aren't going to pay more for music. It's a broken system. -- nm - MDH Dec 1, 09:05 4
- they said that about vinyl 20 years ago. everything comes back -- nm - hollywood big shot Dec 1, 10:04
- It's kind of oddest thing. I've purchased physical media from my most favorite bands and it's not for the music as I don't have any way to play them - JD Dec 1, 09:09 2
  - the girls love vinyl records -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Dec 1, 09:47
  - Physical media is art for us, at this point. (We get a lot of posters/cd's/vinyl signed if we can.) -- nm - JaxSean Dec 1, 09:11
I've never understood why anyone uses Spotify. - the wrong element Dec 1, 08:47 8
- Perhaps it has improved on interface and use because I love it to bits. Listen to way more than I used to five years ago. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 1, 10:23
- Apparently I'm a greedy, greedy, consumer looking to have it all at the expense of the artists but I use it as it is a fantastic music discovery tool - JD Dec 1, 09:03 1
  - This Thread I rethreaded yesterday is pretty spot on. Spotify has taken the place of radio / college radio stations. -- (link) - JaxSean Dec 1, 09:09
- As a consumer, it's hard to argue with paying $15/mo for a family to access any music they want vs. $1 per song. -- nm - oblique Dec 1, 08:50 4
  - Yup. We have the family plan, so pay them ~$20/month for 6 of us to listen to virtually anything we want. - JaxSean Dec 1, 09:05
  - the girls both love it -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Dec 1, 08:59
  - I've been using Amazon music for so long, I never saw a reason to switch to something else. - sycor Dec 1, 08:58 1
    - same here -- nm - tRuMaN (materially correct) Dec 1, 09:11
