Nothing to celebrate. My CDs from twenty years ago still work. Why would I invest time in Spotify when one day all the music just disappears, or they raise prices, etc.?
If this is the future it doesn’t feel like progress.
- whalesalad 9y agoThis reminds me of the comment on the launch thread of Dropbox.
- delecti 9y agoSpotify is a service, not a product. Unless you similarly eschew cellular service and grid electricity, I'm not sure what your point is.
- z3t4 9y agoWhat to come and look at my electric collection ? Just don't touch any of the capacitors.
- cheschire 9y agoIf all the music you want to hear is 20 years old, then you're fine. The problem is that in the near future, and in some places the present, physical media will be sold along side vinyl as one of those things that people think only hipsters use. So for any new music you may want to get, you're now forced into either purchasing a digital copy from a provider and burning copies yourself, or using a subscription service. Eventually it becomes too cumbersome to manage your music in two places, so you reduce to one, and stop using your physical discs assuming you found replicas in your subscription. But, to be honest, I've never had so much access to unknown artists' works for so cheap before. I can build whole playlists of very specific types of music and pay effectively less per month than one CD used to cost me 20 years ago for that one song I liked. So I, for one, welcome our subscription overlords.
