    Spotify. It is the only subscription I have aside from my VPN, and mostly because their library is MASSIVE.

    With how much I drive I’m constantly listening to the damn thing and being able to pick a genre and let it shuffle without thinking about it is 1000% worth the ten bucks a month to not be constantly picking songs, downloading them, sorting and transferring the library to my phone, maintaining storage space, etc…

      Yeah, discovery was one of my main reasons for using it. Getting my own music just sounds like a huge undertaking considering how I listen on a whim.

        Sure. I could. But you misunderstand my point. As Gaben said, piracy is a service problem, not a cost problem. Spotify’s service is clean and very nice to use, add on the available library and it makes it very worth my time to pay for and support it.

          Hell yeah. I’ll pay a reasonable price for a service with lots of stuff on it if it’s reliable and has a great UI. I’ve considered Spotify, even though I have my beautiful flac collection. It’d be nice not to have to worry about converting them to my phone so I can listen in my car.
