I’ve been too poor this whole time, so the hat is firmly attached.
Me too, but for some damn reason, it seems to cost more per month, overall, than a couple subscriptions.
But I will say, I love my setup…
I’ve been aware long enough of big gaps in the libraries of streaming services that there was never a reason to give it up.
It took until fucking March of this fucking year for Spotify to have any old De La Soul to stream. Good thing I’ve had a high quality rip of their early discography for fifteen fucking years. Otherwise I would have been shit outta luck on listening to them.
I couldn’t stream a killer album from fucking 1989 in 2022. There continue to be massive gaps in their libraries due to licensing issues and people who just don’t want to get underpaid by Spotify.
At least the De La Soul situation was understandable. Imagine the amount of time it must have taken to track down and relicense every sample.
