I don't know if it was just because I saw the potential loss of owner ship when streaming came along or if my inner Stallman was stronger than I anticipated, but I never engaged with any of these streaming platforms. I saw things like the (DRM Free) iTunes music store as the best middle ground between analog owner ship and digital convenience.
It is still CD's and DRM free downloads. I have a Sony NW-E394 walkman as my portable player. Is it as convienent? Not really but I have a bit more control. Also FOMO isn't really something I have much of. Sometimes it can be JOMO (Joy Of Missing Out). I usually discover stuff via local radio or TV. You know it is past midnight when Rage comes on (Australian music program).
Works for me, might not for you.
- bongobingo1 3y agoDamn, Rage is still on, been on TV for longer than I've been alive, with the same logo, same time slot! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fOjrQ2N3K0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fOjrQ2N3K0 Ahh,,, guess I'd better go to bed .....

- ghaff 3y agoI've thought about it. I have a big library from pre-streaming. Some Napster (though that's mostly music I had owned on vinyl) but mostly ripped CDs. I could very reasonably populate any holes and add the occasional new album/song. But, for now, I find streaming convenient.
