Just curious, how much would buying an album cost you, and how big is your actual music playlist? Then let me know if it's not a reasonable fee.
A CD cost ~$16-19 depending on how new a release it was. $6-12 used. Obviously not all songs are gonna be desirable on each CD.
I can buy a new album now for $12-15 on iTunes.
I spend ~$13/mo for my Spotify. About half of that time is listening to music I have saved as favorites (IOW not new), the rest listening to new podcasts and looking for new music.
No ads.
So I am absolutely getting my money’s worth in a per-month cost of new music/podcast vs what buying 1 old release or used CD would have cost. I get way more music and entertainment than I would buying one or even 2 used CDs a month.
I wouldn't have the physical space for the amount of CDs that I would need
