    As far as I’m concerned, my CD collection STILL makes me an aficionado. I hold on to the idea that albums were meant to be treasured as individual objects, not crammed together in one big digital grabbag.

    I guess I’m that creepy hoarder. I’ve never used Spotify and buy a CD when I want to listen to a band’s album

    I don’t stream and I prefer vinyl to CD. Yes, you meet all kinds on internet.

    This is why I don’t stream. I just purchase the song I like.

    I have over 6,000 songs on Apple Music, and I’m proud to say about 96% of them came off CDs.

    The biggest reason I use spotify is because as an autistic person music is important to me. But all the other apps I’ve used I absolutely hate the user interface, I use android so iTunes and apple anything out, and more and more things are becoming digital not able to use cds

    For streaming, Deezer pays the artists more than Spotify do, so give it a try 👍

    Artist –> Record-label –> StreamingService.

    Cut out the middle-person!
