Haven't entirely stopped, personally. Just... don't do it often. Every now and then there's something that isn't available on Spotify, though usually SoundCloud works for that.

Same. And transferring to a different eco-system (like iTunes or GPlay) when you have thousands of songs organized is out of the question.

Spotify is the reason why I want to start. I've used it for a few months, while it was cheap, but they are so blatantly overcharging that I will start looking for something else.

I was a beta tester for the Music Gnome project back in 2008 when I went to Michigan Tech. For those who don't know, the Music Gnome project is what developers of Pandora called themselves. Pandora has technically been out since early 2000's under a pseudo name, however never really gained ground until around 2008 when MGP took over development and made it into what people are listening to it today. I hear the ads are atrocious on Pandora now, but i wouldn't know, I got Pandora One for life thanks to my contributions to the MGP.

@icky_thump 5 лет назад

I went from pirating music many years ago, to going legit and purchasing music from Amazon Music (both in MP3 and physical album formats), to finally strictly streaming from Spotify. I was one of those that got a 3 month premium for 0.99 and I was instantly hooked with how easy and fast it is to just look up something you want on demand and 'save to library'. And finally being able to cache any songs on my phone's SD card, albeit not the same as owning, is damn near close enough, making offline listening a real thing.

@iparsw 2 года назад

There is no difference for "artist" between pirating or streaming the amount of money is so smal that right now its safe to say they dont care and they are focusing on other ways of income like lives merchandise and things like that the only one who get a noticeable benefit is spotify share holders and ceo not artist

@Aepek 6 лет назад

What if because the "streaming" platform for EVERYTHING media is now taking off & also being cloud sourced, that the whole royalty market needs or will change for everyone.....movie stars, directors, music artists, etc.... Maybe they won't be making the 25 Billion dollars a year anymore, but 25 million instead..... Just wondering. Maybe in the near future, all streaming services will be totally free, wouldn't that be an awesome time live in...

@sohigh10 6 лет назад

They'll still make sizeable amounts of money, but record labels will need to work harder for it. Things like merchandise, exclusives, concerts and events, etc. will become increasingly important while revenue from direct music sales will decline.

@JohnH3864 6 лет назад

25 million instead of 25 billion? That will apply to pretty much 0.0001% of all music artists. The rest will make 25 cents a year instead of 2500 a year. The awesome time of starving musicians is already here. That's why ticket prices have skyrocketed in the past few years and will continue to. Buy a CD if you really like an artist. I don't mean to be rude, many people share your opinion and that's perfectly valid. I'm just trying to give some insight from someone who works in the music business.

Suggestion: I know it isn't as broad a topic as a lot of your episodes, but CHKDSK would be a cool Techquickie episode. What is it, why is it necessary, what has to go wrong for it to be needed, what does it do, and how does it do it. Windows just ran one while booting this morning even though I had a normal day yesterday, zero abnormalities. I know I could just look it up on the internet but when I do that I want the suggestion to be your video. ♥

@pgplaysvidya 6 лет назад

I don't use spotify, and if there was a magical streaming service that had 100% of all movies and television shows, I still wouldn't use that except as an emergency. I download everything and anything and hoard it all. Once a month or so I load up my shazam and download the tracks I run into and rinse and repeat The business model is interesting but until we (canadians) have access to 50 gig per month plans, it isn't worth it. As a comparison, my ex gf from USA uses 20-30 gigs a MONTH because she streams music all day long. I can't afford that. If I were to spend that much money, there's better ways to do it, like having vpn services coupled with more hard drives.

@nabagaca 6 лет назад

Here in Australia a lot of cell providers offer data free spotify streaming

@toothnailgaming42 6 лет назад

If the royalty fee per play is 0.75 cents (I know it is not exactly that, but for simplicity sake) and we ignore the overhead costs such as server fees, does that mean Spotify makes money on any user who listens to less than 1,333 songs, but loses money to anyone who listens to more (I realize these listens can include repeat listens to the same song)? Also does anyone know if the length of the song has any impact on the royalty fee? Also I'm assuming a Spotify subscription still costs 10$ a month.
