I am looking to move on from spotify, what music streaming service pays the artists the best while still having a large library.

    Most artists put their stuff up on YouTube anyways so you can give it a listen before you decide to buy. And I think buying each track makes you appreciate the music more but also makes you more critical because you want to get your money’s worth.

    Regarding it being expensive, considering that with the money you spend on Spotify you can buy an album each month, I don’t think it’s too bad

      Where do you buy albums for $10?!?

      I also, and I can’t speak for everyone, like to listen to a wide variety of music. If I bought these magic $10 albums, once a month since 2006 (spotify’s founding) I would still only have 216 albums, which is nowhere near enough.

        Yeah I have over a thousand songs in my Spotify playlist and I’m constantly searching for and adding new music.

          I didn’t even know ebay was still a thing!

          Though, if the point of paying for music is to compensate the artist, ebay kind of avoids that unless they do direct sales now?

      I listen to way more than an album a month. and I only pay ~$3 a month for spotify, I don’t think that buys an album. I’m all for buying music, that’s why I’ll occasionally buy a vinyl of an album I absolutely love
