There are three morbillion songs and I have no idea which ones I like. Streaming platforms became popular for a reason

    Yeah most people don't care to maintain a local music library. It's a lot of work and compared to streaming services that do it for you this offers no real benefit. If you listen to lots of new/different music all the time, streaming is actually far cheaper.

    For me, discovery is the entire reason to use streaming services. I have a ton of hard drive space, and know how to find anything I want to download. I have a fairly large music collection from before the days of streaming. But streaming services help me discover all kinds of things I'd likely never hear otherwise. They still suck, as in they're greedy as hell and the quality is mid, but I don't know what I'd do if I had to listen to the same stuff all the time.

    It's cheaper because the band doesn't get paid as much. The streaming service keeps most of the meager pay.
