you guys are trying too hard here..
the fundamental issue is that spotify screws the artist over.. if you all sleep well at night that is fine.. i could care less... i got enough issues in my own life
you remind me of people that watch a debate and say... X lied 99 times.. Y lied 1 time.. yeah, they're both liars..they're the same
i'm no audiophile (far from it) but last night i was listening to the original making movies lp.... man it sounded so fuckin' sweet... if sound quality in music makes no difference to you then sure you can go to spotify or youtube or download some shitty mp3 and listen to that...whatever, you're missing out or let me rephrase it: i would be missing out.
its amusing that for decades people actually cared about sound and now, here amongst us we have a great example, we have the first generation to be like "screw sound I just want all the music all for free.. i don't care about sound.. i don't care who played anything..i don't need to know anything... mastering? what the fuck is that?"
