My life follows exactly your first two paragraphs (except for the working for Apple part).
And then Spotify started pulling albums randomly, probably due to rights reason (I'm an expat so like to listen to niche/indie music from my home country), so in the past year or two I've gone back to owning my music. It's much, much better.
I do use iTunes Match, which I find fantastic to be able to listen to any of my music on the go without having to sacrifice storage space.
The story is the same with Netflix, which I used to use exclusively, but their selection has been dwindling in the recent years and now I'm back to hoarding my favorite shows/movies on hard drives.
- WizKid 12y agoSpotify don't pull albums. Record labels does. The way I solve it is to not listen to them if the record label pull the music. If they don't want my money I'm not going to give them any.
- GuiA 12y ago... sure, but the experience for the end user is the same: I can't listen to the music I want to on Spotify.

- meritt 12y agoIt doesn't matter who makes them disappear, the fact is that it happens, which makes the convenience of an all-streaming in-the-cloud solution not that ideal when it comes to media.
- icesoldier 12y agoI've seen a couple independent artists pull their music from Spotify due to the poor proceeds they were receiving, or from a dislike of the revenue model. That may have been the case once or twice.
