I can buy and mp3 off amazon. But if amazon decides to take down the artist i spent money and lost acess to what i bought.
If i buy the CD, i rip it and put it on my navidrome server. I own it forever, if the server explodes or somebody claims i dont own the music, i go to my storage room and pull out my BIG ASS container of CDs.
I OWN A PERSONAL LICENSE TO MY BOUGHT AND PAID FOR MUSIC ON PHYSICAL MEDIA THAT CANNOT BE PURPOSELY OR INNCIDENTALLY REMOTELY DELETED. NOBODY CAN STOP ME FROM LISTENING TO MY MUSIC COLLECTION, NOT SOME CORPRATE FUCK RAISING A SUPSCRIPTION PRICE.
I started a year ago collecting physical media, and i can genuinely say owning it makes it sound and look better.
I seldom have any subscriptions, and the one thing that hurts is when i play the mental game of “ok so i could pay for it still which would cost a decent amount of money” or i could not.
“Does this service provide me enough value for the economic loss of my personal funds?”
But not having to “bend over” because spotify is doing evil shit and i dont want to support.
Funny thing is i recently read about the AI bullshit and shit there doing with Spotify. Told my friends and they didnt want to leave spotify because of there playlists.
Theres a service that takes playlists and converts them amoung services for $2.
Both friends have been enjoying the shit about tidal! And gladly cancled there Spotify
Because they are too computer illiterate to simply download what they want?
Its the fact of unrevokable ownership.
