Ok but serious question, I don’t want to personally manage my music library on a server. For movies and TV this is fine, I consume a couple of these a day but if I want a steady stream of new music streaming apps have made all this very easy and very convenient.
When my 4 year old yells out in the car for a specific song, will these cover it?
Buy directly from the band to support them because streaming services pay pennies. That’s my excuse to buy merch from artists I love. Concert ticket sales don’t have very high margins, either.
Duder, you are not wrong. But I also am a) lazy b) busy with a tiny kid c) unlikely to fairly apportion my patronage if left to my own devices.
I hear you. I agree with you. But, in a perfect world, I need to find a service that at least ostensibly aligns with my ideals and allows me centralize my expenses in this area.
Edit: on second thought, my uneducated position is that I’d rather pay cents to everyone whose music I enjoy than 20 bucks to one band whose shirt I wanna wear. I haven’t thought this position through deeply, but this is my first impression of the sitch atm.

I might be in the wrong place for this sentiment, but I also seriously want to pay for my music.

Not based.
I try to make up for it other ways 🤣
