I have Spotify premium AND I buy records/CD's, how about them apples? Why not have both.. I like owning physical releases, but I also enjoy the comfort of having all my music with me everywhere I go without needing a trailer behind my car to carry all my records and cd's, it's great..
cause you can just rip it to mp3/flac yourself..

I have Spotify premium AND I buy records/CD's, how about them apples? Why not have both.. I like owning physical releases, but I also enjoy the comfort of having all my music with me everywhere I go without needing a trailer behind my car to carry all my records and cd's, it's great.. At home, I also play my music from the computer 99.9% of the time, it's just so damn easy.
Ripping usually goes faster than downloading, but then, you have to fetch the disc, take it out of its case and put it in the disc drive, which may indeed burn more energy than mouseclicking yourself to a downloadYou havent heard then about my mythical lazyness
That is used to find stuff that isn't on spotify. Newalbumreleases.net and Getmetal.org are also helpful sites.artist album 320 blogspot torrent on google. WHYHELLOTHARR
A goes for me too, C also partially, the ladyfriend part , D also applies.Very much agreed. I love my music collection, however I:
A. Only have so much money and space to dedicate to physical products.
B. Have a fairly eclectic taste and love spending time with new artists. I still want to help musicians out even if they end up not being for me. Given that I use Spotify mostly as music discovery tool, I feel better knowing that there's something going to them. (Of course the payout isn't great but it's better than pirating and has led me to so many physical purchases and concerts that I think it's quite justified.)
C. Live in an apartment, and have lived in apartments my whole life. Sitting down with my CDs and LPs is great but I can only bug my ladyfriend and neighbors with that beautiful metallic racket so much during one day. (Also, moving doesn't get any easier. More stuff = more of a pain.)
D. Work on my computer most of the day and don't want to lose the aural accompaniment just because I don't have my record player in my little office space.
