I miss when you could buy your favorite songs on vinyl, cassette, digital, etc., and they were yours forever and you could listen to them whenever you want.

Now the fucking subscriptions of Spotify or Apple Music and others, force me to pay them even when I use my own space on the cell phone where I downloaded the music and if you don’t pay: you can’t listen to them.

What options are there?

The radio is free. I know it’s not very good anymore which is why I personally barely ever turn it on.

I certainly wouldn’t pay for a subscription

On the radio there are no good musical options and in certain places there is no good reception. The big problem with the subscription is that there is no option to buy the songs.

They just want you to keep paying for the subscription, I know you’re aware of that.

Tnk. I will continue to look for viable options to have my music without eternal subscriptions.

SoulSeek and BitTorrent and some other options I don't know about

Piracy is an option that is not the best but we used it in the 95-2000s to download mp3

But now?

It's hard to make money as a musician but it's good to be heard and remembered. I say piracy is OK

Tnk. I will look for options where I can download or buy and have my own music to listen to it whenever I want.

Piracy is always an option. 🏴‍☠️

Yes, but where is options ? are few and not of good quality.

I have the same question!

Ebay etc. people probably sell old stuff?

I want to have something like the old iPod.

Pretty sure you can get many different types of MP3 players on Amazon etc.

Tnk. I’m search 🫡
