I've got to agree with this. I had a small collection of classical and jazz CDs until I arrived at college in the mid '90s where I encountered physical and later digital music sharing. My musical horizons expanded dramatically then, and then again in the last decade as even more obscure and more interesting music has become more browsable. Services that try to tell me what my Facebook "friends" like or what is "popular" are deeply uninteresting to me. I would never pay money for them. At this point, I mostly avoid commercial music except for a few artists that I know well (mostly early '90s "electronica"). The risks around file trading are too great. Instead, I stick to music that I've found on Soundcloud, youtube or in the various music production forums I hang out in. As soon as you sign with a major label, I don't want to hear from you. If your idea of customer service is suing your actual and potential customers, then you can go fuck yourself. If you are thinking about starting a music discover startup that tries to shove the same crap down my throat, I also don't want to hear from you. There are plenty of people who apparently do, but I don't.
