    I was the biggest fan of Spotify as soon as they started up. I was one of the first people to get early access and was a huge supporter for years.

    Buy your music, own your files, never subscribe for something you can buy instead. You’re not listening to 12 new albums a year, if you can subscribe, you can pay for the files that will be yours forever. The fact that Spotify has higher quality streaming doesn’t change anything.

      Aye. Bandcamp. Buy, download FLAC, put in mediamonkey, listen in cars or anywhere else. If need be, the app is also there for streaming I guess.

        Yeah, I’m adding about 500 songs to my spotify library every year. If I paid 1€ for every single one it would be more than 10x the cost of the 3€ per month for a Spotify Family slot

        Even if. Still pretty cheap compared to streaming where you pay and never own, and it’s always a second away from being never accessible anymore for whatever reason.
