Listen: I'm a Jay Z stay, but I'm. Not subscribing to tidal to stream his music.

If you were a stab you would already own all his albums on ce and have them ripped to your computer. You would have them all on the phone all the time or have them in rotation.

Be a slave to streaming services, breh

 

[Nature's Fury]

My point is paying $240 just to stream music which isn't yours to keep forever is stupid. You can only listen to the music because you are paying a subscription. For example, their business is based off of consumer loyalty and their average consumer is a naive teenager or young adult who hasn't realised that buying CDs is a one time payment which costs literally nothing and you keep it forever. Therefore, say the consumer spends $240 dollars for one year, their consumer then turns 21, 22, 23 etc. Are you willing to pay for Tidal until the day you die... lets say you cop out of this world at 80 you would have single-handedly from the ages of 20-80 spent $14,400.00? LOL.
The album would of cost $2. Even when CDs were popular I never spent $240 dollars a year on them and I still have them. It's your money. And just because it takes a couple of seconds to search for a new song doesn't make it actually cheaper. You don't pay Google to search for topics do you? It's not even a service you need or one that makes life easier or better. DJ's don't even spend that much on music.

imma just neg you and keep it moving

I had all his CDs up to wtt then I lost them when I moved and I'll probably never purchase them until my bread is correct and I can start blowing racks on vinyl.

 

[BK The Great]

i got no problem with people using streaming services, but i ain't paying for rented music. i own a crate full of cd's that will last me forever.

Why don't you just buy the CD, it's better quality and it's yours to keep forever unlike a streaming service which will only last as long as its trend.

? Pay 10 bucks a month and you have nearly all the music you need at max quality

 

[mson]

Can't they just send you a copy of the album as well for a little extra?

 

[Ill-Mind]

If you were truly a fan you would have the GOAT's music already

 

[Cryptocurrency Scarface]

Why would I pirate Jay Z in 2017?

Ain't like Jay-Z is an independent Artist that needs your revenue

 

[Cryptocurrency Scarface]

I had it. I even tried to talk myself into using it over goatify.

The average person which I am assuming you are apart of this demographic doesn't listen to every song of every genre, so the idea of it sounds good but in reality doesn't make sense because CDs of old albums cost nothing and its already in lossless quality you just have to copy it to your computer. You will spend $120 dollars for the year without realising that those same songs from the albums that you liked could of cost you a fraction to buy say you spent $50 on 35 albums, some you returned some you kept but the fact is this year you spent $50 ONCE. The following year you didn't spend that same $50 because you actually own the CDs you brought the prior year then say for example there are a few new singles and two albums you liked this year then buy the single $1 and the album $20 ($10 each), now that's also yours to keep forever. You get it, that's the concept how a normal person with a brain creates a music catalogue of their own, no monthly fees and the music is lossless too. You might not be able to hear it because of your low quality headphones but if you had a good pair (including speakers and an amplifier) you would be able to hear the sonic flaws in the music. The reason why the bitrates are low and headphones are mass produced with poor construction like Beats Headphones etc is that they have sheep like you that either don't care or are whatless to the fact that they are being cheated out of their own money. Buy the CD or vinyl then buy a pair of studio headphones and tell me you can't hear the difference. Lossless is lossless so it doesn't matter the source, but the point is you're wasting your money because CDs are cheaper and are of better quality. Your keeping these hacks in business so go ahead.
