I recently purchased a subscription to Grooveshark because of a simple reason. The value I get for buying a song at 64 cents (or 2.99) is not in check with the use I might give said song.
Before Napster I had to buy a cd because I might like a band and probably heard a few songs from them, but I'd have pay 15 bucks for a disk with a 10 to 20 songs which I might or might not like. Then came the Apple store and now I can actually choose the songs I want, but how am I to be certain about the quality and value of most of the songs, when I have probably only heard the most popular ones?
With Grooveshark I pay a monthly/yearly fee and I can just try all the songs I want. If I really want to have a certain song on my iPod to take wherever I want and in a decent audiophile quality, I'll buy it. I think it's thievery to pay a dollar for a song and listen to it for a week and then get tired of it and never listen to it again. Multiply that for an album, and then multiply it for the couple of artists you might like. This is the way that Tv should work also. I get to pay for you to stream me shows, and if I actually like a show enough that I'm sure I'm going to want to either own a digital or physical copy of the product, I'll buy it.
I have no problem buying a digital or physical song/album to support the creator of a product I really like, but a I have a huge issue with having to pay 10 bucks to get an album I'm not sure I want to own, or even listen to more than a couple of times.
