Not owning what I stream sucks but I listen to a lot of music that I absolutely could not afford to pay $10+ per album for, nor $1-$3 per single for. Fortunately I own Massive Attack from the pre-streaming era but now I really have to go out of my way to listen to King Giz. No hate on either party for dropping the platform and I appreciate the stance being taken, but now I just don’t listen to King Giz because it would involve hoops.
- JeffeFawkes 1y agoApple Music gave me a 90 day trial as soon as this Spotify snafu started, and it imported all but maybe 50 of my 5000+ songs from Spotify without issue, including King Gizz. I haven't touched Spotify so far this month, and I think I'm going to cancel it. I would say the music discovery features on Music are worse, but I also haven't tried to use them much yet. (That, and Spotify had gone massively downhill, I'd be lucky to get one or two new songs a month I liked with their recommendation pipeline. Which is a shame, because it used to be one of the best for me.)
- benhurmarcel 1y agoThat’s missing the point no? It seems to me that the movement in the article is against unlimited music streaming, just as much from Spotify as Apple Music.
- duxup 1y agoYeah I'm not going back either. I'm happy to stream, ownership or not, if my song isn't on a service, I just listen to others. The convenience and discovery is just too good for me to ever want to pay per album or song.
