    Look I used a lot of Usenet, it had a lot of benefits, but take a real close look at yourself in the mirror when you ask yourself this.

    Did you just suggest that Usenet is simpler than Spotify? Usenet is great for a lot of reasons, but simplicity is not one of them.

      I see your point, but piracy has at all times provided me the music I wanted with the portability I wanted with the quality of files I have wanted.

      I guess it’s a matter of perspective.

      Is there a simple way for Spotify to give me high quality files that I can play offline or host myself with no DRM? (Maybe the answer is yes, but I haven’t had that impression.)

      That’s been my criteria for listening to music pretty much since mp3s came into existence.

      I can’t argue with you very hard though - if the goal is just “something that lets me play music” then I suppose spotify is simpler.
