If they gave half that profit to the artists on there, maybe. But they give about 10% iirc. Give up with these services and just buy the CD, vinyl or whatever. Then listen to your hearts content.

Buying or even pirating literally thousands of albums just wouldn't be feasible for me. Way too much cost, effort, and time. Spotify is well worth it for me as a consumer.

i listen to too much music to be shuffling around CDs while driving

[-] ano_ba_to@sopuli.xyz 14 points 11 months ago

We don't rip CDs anymore so you can store them as MP3s on your phone? People have forgotten how to do that? I'm getting old.

[-] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 5 points 11 months ago

no i do that too with stuff that isnt on spotify. most recently with Dagmar Krause's Tank Battles. but, again, i wouldnt have enough storage space to download all the shit i listen to even if i had all of the CDs ripped

Damn, you must have a massive collection. Solid state memory is fairly cheap these days, even for flac.

[-] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

i mean i could get a TB sd card for my phone. but im lazy and spotify has most of what i need right there lol

and yeah i have a massive collection, 25,378 songs liked on spotify

Quantity over quality eh? I hope that doesn't happen to subscription-based gaming.

How much can I get for one of them bananas?

[-] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

depends on what you want. all shapes and sizes (especially big size)

[-] dogebread@lemm.ee 4 points 11 months ago

Many people that did that have careers and families and a general opportunity cost for their time. Ripping CDs is so unbelievably far down on my priority list it doesn't even register.

[-] ano_ba_to@sopuli.xyz 1 points 11 months ago

What? It takes 5 minutes to pop your new CD in the drive and let Windows Media player handle it for you, track information included.

[-] DuncanIdaho@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Buy it on Bandcamp and download it. Or rip it to mp3/flac. Then blutooth the phone to the car radio.

[-] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

bluetooth is not on my car. also Bluetooth quality sucks. also id be spending thousands of dollars to buy all my music

[-] CCatMan@lemmy.one 7 points 11 months ago

Not all artist release songs on albums or the albums were limited release and are hard to find, but spotify has them.

[-] DuncanIdaho@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Go to Bandcamp. Its usually there. Of course that site is in the shit for now thanks to their staff being laid off after a buyout, but the bands are still getting the money.

[-] chickenf622@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago

I buy the the digital release to support the band and just keep listening on Spotify. At that point the band won't get more money out of me for the songs and I get the covience of Spotify
