I don’t get it. I downloaded music on napster, then added kazaa files, then limewire files, then megavideo stuff along with youtube rips, and now i just download a song when I like it. Why did everyone else get these subscriptions? Dont you need internet to hear music? You dont own any of it…

We don’t have good options for local music discoverability, and the major labels don’t have any incentive to even sell music to individuals in the first place anymore. I unfortunately pay for music streaming just because I don’t like listening to the same songs over and over. So to me the variety of new songs you can get from the algorithms on streaming services is worth paying for to me. Luckily, I don’t need to use Spotify, and just because they’re choosing to bundle an AI subscription in to their plans doesn’t mean all their competitors will too.
