For most downloaded songs, a couple of times.
Most people just amass mp3 collections they rarely listen to in their entirety.
- colincsl 15y agoA couple times?? Surely some people do that, but I doubt it's the majority. This is way too broad of a generalization.
- daemin 15y agoI'd say, anecdotally from my own experience, that it's more of a power law distribution. Some songs/albums I listen to quite frequently, while others I listen to once and then forget about. Suffice to say using this sort of subscription model, the hits would still be big money spinners, but for the vast majority - the long tail so to speak - wouldn't make enough to live on.
