I don't get the appeal of Spotify. Pay monthly for music? That's crazy.

You really don’t get the appeal of paying for a service that provides a need? Really?

[–] NewNewAugustEast@lemmy.zip 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

What need?

[–] traxex@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 44 minutes ago (1 children)

Do you think people have a need for music that is streamed but not saved from a large collection?

[–] NewNewAugustEast@lemmy.zip 1 points 6 minutes ago

Need? No. But there are tons of streaming music out there and it isn't gonna cost you a dime.

You get a much larger selection than by buying individual records, though.

It is amazing how everytime I check they dont have what I want. Yet you are correct, there is lot of options there.

[–] Archr@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

I am genuinely curious what you were looking for that they didn't have. I feel like my tastes are so benign because I have never had that issue.

[–] NewNewAugustEast@lemmy.zip 1 points 5 hours ago

I only check once in a while (even though I could use it freely), but first off I listen to a lot of live music so there is that, most is not there or freely traded anyway.

But I can think of a good example recently: I wanted to hear Burning Spear's Mistress Music, with the track Fly me to the moon in particular. It is not there.

Not a huge artist, but also not unknown either: https://www.discogs.com/master/108163-Burning-Spear-Mistress-Music

It is in my music server now (somewhere I have the CD, but who knows where).

It seems to happen to me more often than not.
