As streaming prices increase, consider buying music again.
Even if you continue streaming, it’s a nice escape hatch to know you own a library if you ever feel like canceling.
@jays I thought buying CDs as a bad deal in the 90s, so I stopped listening to recorded music since that time. Nothing much has changed since, unfortunately. Most of the money still goes to the middlemen.
@jays Agree. But not just because of that - also, rather because virtually every musician I ever talked to in-person heavily complained about how ugly streaming services are to the creators, especially in terms of conditions and payouts. Even though I'd enjoy the convenience, I still can't get any closer to any of these services because of that.
