What's your opinion of Spotify and its premium version? |

As a musician I'd rather you just pirate my music and maybe buy a t-shirt or something. Spotify is a shakedown operation by exactly the sort of sleazy industry executive middle-men they posture themselves as an alternative to. Three different companies take a cut of my money in order to get it on there. |

Pay for physical, pirate the rest. That goes for both music and film. |

I cancelled my decade-long Spotify subscription after buying a Chord Mojo/Poly on the cheap. Now I just rip CDs to a microSD... or pirate a FLAC if the CD is rare or hard to come by. |

I primarily use it to discover new stuff. I really liked last.fm when that was around to do the same thing but then of course, they got gobbled up by the Spotify conglomerate. |

The algorithm that builds the "discover weekly" playlist is freakishly brilliant. |

I've had premium for about ten years, and paired with unlimited mobile data, it is very much worth it. There's an argument to be made it's not that ethical - artists don't get a great deal out of it, but for me, I wouldn't have listened to these artists at all if it wasn't for spotify. Their algorithm and other features make it so very easy to discover new music, which as I get older feels more and more important to me. |

I used it for a while when I had the student discount but stopped after a few months. |

Mods need to get a grip on this giant advert of a wesbite. Big Streaming have now also moved in it seems. |

There’s a lotta music that just doesn’t outright exist on Spotify. More often than not I am force fed Spotify’s algorithms with a lack of variety. |

Incidentally if you want to support artists you like, many of whom are unable to gig and so on due to the rona, Bandcamp are waiving their artist fees, so 100% of the money goes to the artist. |

How odd is it for people to collect physical media these days? I got some odd looks from co-workers when I told them I still bought DVD/Blu-Ray, I'm only 29 so the age gap isn't that big. I have just got into Laserdisc though, I'll admit that's a bit mental. |

Has music piracy died? I feel like I will actually have to get Spotify premium now because I can't find the albums I want and if I do it takes far more work than it used to unless I'm going after a big name in music. |

I've had Spotify premium for about a month now, as part of a family plan as I wouldn't bother with it just for myself. So far it seems to be worse than YouTube for recommending new music to me; I assume it will get better over time but so far it seems to be almost entirely "here are a bunch of bands you'd never listen to because you can't stand them." |
