This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

They changed it a while back so that you can't download an album you buy as a whole unless you get their app, you have to do individual tracks. Just a small pain point that makes me annoyed at them. But, I sill end up going there because of the surprisingly high amount of music that I have only found for purchase there, and nowhere else
Oh, it isn’t a steaming service like Spotify? That is what I would be getting it for.
Oh no, it's a regular streaming service, just a little clunky eg, they want you to use their app on your phone and a webpage on your computer.
I switched awhile ago and some minor hassles but it's also been pretty fun. They try a lot of neat themed curated playlists, so today I was listening to a playlist El Sonido New Yorkquino, which was a blast.
Got it. Thanks!
They have a streaming service as well as a store page! I can't speak to it though, I've never tried it
