Apple Music. Loseless audio and cloud storage for my library for $10/month is better value than anything Spotify can offer. How does apple music compare with spotify in terms of how much actual content is on there- specifically hardcore, metal etc?

Never had a spotify o-count. Had an MP3 player like.. in 2008? but only used it a handful of times. I literally still burn MP3s to CD-Rs to listen to them in the car (when I'm not listening to records at the house).

If something is missing, I can just download off Soulseek and it'll show up in my library in Apple Music anyway

We need something like spotify but only by and for diy bands and indie labels. Iβm sure they would pay at least a whole cent per stream because it would be run by good people, rather than a greedy faceless corporation.

joe rogan enjoys have controversial people and apinions on his show and i dont care enough about what his listeners choose to believe to delete my o-count. if the idiots didn't get their misinformation from him they'd get it somewhere else. idk maybe i dont fully understand the big deal. i saw that spotify are putting disclaimers on his podcast or something like that i response, which is something i guess.

honestly maybe I am in the minority of this particular thread about it but I like that neil young did it, regardless of if it matters or not or splitting hairs about what service to switch to. i just like that even at 76 he still does shit like this and that he used the moment to shoehorn in his apinion about the sound quality on spotify still sucking haha

I had to google what the hell is going on with JR. Seems like some stupid shit to care about. Also streaming platforms are stupid. My apinions are very important.

I havenβt had a personal computer since like 2014 so downloading music isnβt even on my radar. I just buy the media and listen to it at home or stream it on da go

Joe Rogaine aside what say yβall about the paltry payments bands get from streaming sites nothing really. I agree they're extremely unethical, and pathetic of the CEO to do things like sponsor a football team for advertising space instead of pay them more, but I give the artists I like money with other stuff. To be honest with you, if I had a job where I wasn't at a desk all day, I could probably go without Spotify. but YT has too many ads and my coworkers never shut up

I just can't wrap my head around why I should boycot an app that's already been paid for the month all so I can give Amazon or Apple my money. It's not like any of them will even pay a full cent per stream to the artist.
I'm cool with any artist pulling their music off the app though. Just don't get it being put on the consumer.

So my .ooooo2 cents is that there's no ethical way to consume art because art distribution is a scam. Radio, spotify, YouTube, managers, record companies are all desighned to wring money out the process to get art to end users. The inherent problem is that these all provide greater visibility and capital so artists more or less must opt in. Should they be happy or grateful? Fuck no but if you're gunna opt in to monetizing your art, you should know you're opting in to the scam.
As for that toe thumb looking rock n roller, I legitimately don't have time or energy to cancel every platform that gives a voice to the stupid or cruel. Good on every artist pulling their shit though.

Yeah it's great when big bands can do this to spread awareness but my friends in fledgling touring bands def do not have that luxury and there's no ethical consumption etc. I am now realizing as I type here that I don't know where either external of my hard drives are...

I want constant, uninterrupted access to all the media and consumer goods a man could possibly ever want for and in my pea-sized brain this is compatible with large sums of profit for the relevant producers and laborers.
I think itβs pretty cool that a lot of bands almost no one cares about are also posting about leaving Spotify, and conveniently are also about to tour after dropping albums that absolutely no one cares about.

Didn't all of his old stuff get pulled from Youtube after he wen't Spotify exclusive? Ain't no way all of his fans chose to pay $10 a month to keep listening, so while Spotify is paying him $100 million or whatever, ultimately I'd bet less people are hearing his bullshit in the first place

Streaming platforms give small, independent artists an opportunity to grow their fan base and work up to a tour, which is where most musicians make their actual money. Like most people itt I downloaded music before streaming and I show my support by going to shows and buying merch.
