Why are you comparing music players to streaming services? That's like comparing a Honda Civic to a cement mixer. You don't use both to accomplish the same job even if they both have four wheels and a gas pedal.
- winternett 5y agoStreaming services leverage playlists, and they insert ads into those playlists. Streaming services like Spotify, are music players by nature obviously...
- filoleg 5y agoYou are just being pedantic, while the parent comment offered a fairly useful distinction between those two types of services, even though it might not be the dictionary definition. >Streaming services like Spotify, are music players by nature obviously... Both a cement mixer and a honda civic are vehicles that one can drive on the road by nature. The point still stands that they shouldn't be compared directly, as they serve completely different purposes (despite them both being drivable vehicles).
- jethro_tell 5y agoif you pay for spotify, there are no ads, just like if you paid for your music and a music player there would be no ads. And before you tell me you got your music and player on the high seas, you can still do that so I don't see how anything has changed.
- nitrogen 5y agoThe "job to be done" is still listening to music on demand.
