Sure, but do you actually have the time or want to listen to all of the available music in their library? How often do you choose to listen to the same song/album? How often do you find a song you don't like and want to skip? Do you like being forced to use their app for "Offline Listening"? Do you like being forced to listen to the result of stuffty audio compression techniques?
In my opinion it's just a silly argument. all i need is a 1TB microsd card and I can play a good portion of my library any where I go without any hangups, WiFi/data, payments, UI/GUIS, and bullstuff ads. Imagine actually owning music you wanted to listen to haha.
Looks like you missed my post like 3 pages back but not only do I own, physically on CD, just about every album I’ve really enjoyed for the past decade+, but I continue to listen to those same saved albums on Spotify, despite having all of them saved on my phone’s memory. I’ve supported these artists through merch, shows, you name it. Not only that, but I have stems & raw multitracks that I can listen to for a few of my favorite tracks, and have listened to fully mastered sessions, in full studio setups. I can tell you right now that most people don’t give a forget about having raw flac quality audio every single waking moment of the day. Sure, it’s GREAT to sit down at my computer and listen to high quality audio going through quality A/D and on great speakers. But I have work to go to and errands to run. I have work to DO. I have other things to accomplish while listening to the MUSIC. You aren’t going to miss the discreet room sound from the drums when you’re busy and just want MUSIC to listen to. But you know what I definitely can do? Grab my phone, click a couple buttons, and give that one album a try that my friends been recommending me, and listen to it at a pretty decent level of quality that a gross majority of people would consider sufficient & enjoyable.
