    It’s not that I don’t want to pay for the service, it’s just that I hate the automatic recurring withdrawals, even if I can cancel monthly.

    I would probably use more subscriptions if I could just pay like three month of access in advance - basically like these gift cards work.

      It’s not that i don’t want to pay, it’s just that their “service” isn’t serving me and thus not worth the money.

      Give me my cd’s back lol. Let me own what i purchase.

        I use an iPod that I’ve modded 128gb into. It’s great. All the convenience of my own high quality music library, without having hundreds of CDs around.

          My phone is 512gb and i use about 80 myself, largest part is porn(yeah i’m aware, it’s bad…very bad,i need some time).

          I’ve decided to start pirating again as my device has plenty of space to keep my music.

          The biggest thing is getting all lf the music, so nowadays i’ll just play what i have and sometimes go: “oh damn i forgot about billie eilish” for example and make a mental note until the next time i’m at my computer with some time to spare.

          Slowly but steadily decreasing my porn stock and replacing it with music i would’ve bought as cd’s.

        Not all of them. Spotify doesn’t, they know that people will just pay monthly, they don’t have any reason to offer a discount
