      Buying or even pirating literally thousands of albums just wouldn’t be feasible for me. Way too much cost, effort, and time. Spotify is well worth it for me as a consumer.

        We don’t rip CDs anymore so you can store them as MP3s on your phone? People have forgotten how to do that? I’m getting old.

            Damn, you must have a massive collection. Solid state memory is fairly cheap these days, even for flac.

            Quantity over quality eh? I hope that doesn’t happen to subscription-based gaming.

          Many people that did that have careers and families and a general opportunity cost for their time. Ripping CDs is so unbelievably far down on my priority list it doesn’t even register.

            What? It takes 5 minutes to pop your new CD in the drive and let Windows Media player handle it for you, track information included.

      Not all artist release songs on albums or the albums were limited release and are hard to find, but spotify has them.

      I buy the the digital release to support the band and just keep listening on Spotify. At that point the band won’t get more money out of me for the songs and I get the covience of Spotify
