Like, if they delete them from their catalogue you can't listen to them anymore? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [โ] nulluser@programming.dev 2 points 3 years ago Not unless you're "buying" it from some service that doesn't let you download the file. Definitely don't do that. Buy the mp3s. Download them (& backup to a separate location) Listen to them on whatever mp3 player you want. Gradually accumulate an enormous music collection that you can listen to for free forever. permalink fedilink source parent
