  I guess some people are, as long as it’s a good balance of convenience and price. Ages ago, Napster, Kazaa and DC++ were considered more convenient than buying music. I guess torrents are used for that these days.

    One of the 2000s P2P networks still exists today, and still has a pretty decent-sized community using it: Soulseek. It was released a month after KaZaA.

        now I don’t want to be that person but I’d like to give artists some money somehow. Like I dislike AI as it rips people off - there is a (difficult) middle line to tread

    I work a desk job. I can put pirated music on my work computer or ill get fired. Only real option is a pay service.

      I don’t like to bring my personal stuff on my work computer, but I can use my phone for all that stuff instead. You could use a BT speaker to blast pirate metal in the office.

        I thought about using my phone but I dont have unlimited data on my phone. I also dont have unlimited data at home so id run my phone and internet down faster. Phone is the real issue as its not much cell data at all per month.

  We have the duo plan, for me and my wife. Kids don’t need one yet.

      The bubble where Spotify isn’t a massively successful service and most aren’t paying for it or music in general.

  Their strategy has been for years to make the phone app very constrained if you’re not paying, so to have any decent experience that was kinda required.

  I don’t no. But as they keep removing features from the free account, and here in the UK you at least need an account now to play anything people do
