I don't get the appeal of Spotify. Pay monthly for music? That's crazy.

    You get a much larger selection than by buying individual records, though.

    It is amazing how everytime I check they dont have what I want. Yet you are correct, there is lot of options there.

    I am genuinely curious what you were looking for that they didn't have. I feel like my tastes are so benign because I have never had that issue.

    I only check once in a while (even though I could use it freely), but first off I listen to a lot of live music so there is that, most is not there or freely traded anyway.

    But I can think of a good example recently: I wanted to hear Burning Spear's Mistress Music, with the track Fly me to the moon in particular. It is not there.

    Not a huge artist, but also not unknown either: https://www.discogs.com/master/108163-Burning-Spear-Mistress-Music

    It is in my music server now (somewhere I have the CD, but who knows where).

    It seems to happen to me more often than not.

    You really don’t get the appeal of paying for a service that provides a need? Really?

    Do you think people have a need for music that is streamed but not saved from a large collection?

    Need? No. But there are tons of streaming music out there and it isn't gonna cost you a dime.

    Oh so you are saying the service exists in another form and is able to fill a need people have? So therefore Spotify is just one solution to a problem many people have.

    You are genuinely being disingenuous if you don’t see how some people could want to use Spotify over something like Soulseek or even something like YouTube Music.

    I don’t even like Spotify, but I can see why some people might.
