    Unlike Disney, Netflix, etc, Spotify is the only streaming service where I never think oh this is missing let’s find a torrent.

    Music streaming (at least for the consumer) is so much better than video. Where it’s super scattered over multiple services all wanting money.

      I find that I can only find about 90 percent of what I want to listen to. That’s more than enough of a burden to opt out entirely. Live albums, demos, collabs, and obscure dead bands you can’t really find with great success

        Yeah I’ve never fully switched to Spotify because of that but I do like their library and ease of use, the playlist function we use for parties a lot and it’s just easy and everyone understands it already.

        As a Phish head and purveyor of bootlegs, and sometimes specific masters of classic albums, my personal music collection has always been a sacred space.

      Maybe you don’t listen to many international songs, I always find grey songs on the playlists I like.

      I frequently can’t find songs. I will say they generally are obscure though.
