I for one prefer the way it used to be but would not abolish streaming, even if I had the power. To some extent Spotify and streaming in general have diminished music and in other ways perhaps not. What kind of intelligence do these people have. People should feel embarrassed if they expect everything for nothing. Genuine music fans did that and still do today, one way or another. Yep you guessed it, massive amounts more than the paltry sum Spotify require. If Spotify raised its prices more than they have, still no-one would be paying properly.Īsk me what I paid in 1979 or 1985 or 1990. In the old days you had to pay and pay properly. I guess the free-loaders just use Spotify for background music or to put on when they are doing the housework at the weekends, but that should not matter.Īs for the price rises. I know there is probably some crawling, vomit inducing business reason why this does not happen, but these people should at least show some sign of being sufficiently interested in music, some indication that music means enough to them to actually support the business and then at least these folks would have a little self respect and could stop believing that everything is of no value and should be free.

I just wish that the massive amount of folk who get every record in the shop for nothing, be wiped from the platform and be forced to cough up.
