      I can’t understand why people pay for this shit - how is that any better than the radio??

      (I still go the cheapskate route and maintain my own library)

        How is that better than the radio??

        No commercials

        Better selection of music

        Only listen to songs you like

        Ability to skip tracks

        Ability to listen to whatever you want vs what someone else decides for you

        How long of a list are you looking for because this could take all day…

      I haven’t been at the whim of spotify’s bullshit algorithm since years ago when I just stopped playing their radio at all. Maybe I’ll hear one or two songs when the album m listening to ends and I haven’t had a chance to pick what’s next, but I don’t rely on their bullshit. Every song I play I’ve chosen to play.

      Look at me, stickin it to the man.

          Ah. See, I never grew out of album listening. I fought mp3 players for so long I probably nearly killed an extra 15 people in my life flipping through my massive CD book as I drove probably too fast down the road when I was 16.

          Thinking about it, I’ve probably missed a lot of songs I would’ve loved that way, because when a new album comes out and it can’t grab me in the first few songs, I don’t go back and listen until I sometimes give them another shot.
