- njovin 7y agoSpotify has 215m users. I’d assume that is more than the group that used to download MP3s and burn CDs (which would require some technical knowhow and a CD burner).
- ZoomZoomZoom 7y agoYou're seriously exaggerating. In the past, almost everyone had a CD-burner. You could use just a couple of clear as day GUI programs, a dozen of clicks and one drag and drop to download an album and burn a CD. Eleven year olds were doing it no problem.
- scarface74 7y agoiTunes was the most popular music source by 2007 and had built in CD burning capabilities. You created a playlist and hit “burn”. Almost every computer came with a CD burner between around 2000-2010.
- barbecue_sauce 7y agoIt's not like Spotify has some insurmountable specs to run or is only available on iOS. I have it running in Manjaro, and its catalog is far more extensive than what I could have found on SoulSeek or DC++ back in the day.
- asadkn 7y agoI agree, this doesn't sound "everyone": https://support.spotify.com/us/using_spotify/the_basics/full-list-of-territories-where-spotify-is-available/ https://support.spotify.com/us/using_spotify/the_basics/full... Apple music is available in another 59 countries that Spotify is not.
