  • I guess that’s a possibility. But I think most artists want their work (at least their studio records) to be available to as many listeners as possible. I think paywalling most content will not be successful for the artist nor the record label. (The same way exclusivity deals with streaming services haven’t really worked out).

    But I wouldn’t really mind paying 1 dollar per artist for some bonus tracks, when I know that when 6000 people do the same they will be able to succeed financially




  • I agree that it’s a great way to support your artist, but honestly I don’t think it stands a chance to become as big as streaming services. The convince of being able to explore almost every artists catalogue at the touch of a button is just too good. (Also great for sharing music or creating a shared playlist)

    I think the problem of storage space is also often overlooked. Not everyone has enough storage on their device. (I know I didn’t, when I still used MP3s on a modern smartphone)
