Apple Music Now Has 60 Million Paid Subscribers

I see it as paying for the convenience of being able to access any music I want, when I want it.

I will never and have never paid for convenience and when that convenience has drm and other restrictions it’s not convenience. In addition I never pay for something I don’t own. When you include those cost to access the service on top of the cost of your phone and data plan it’s not really a bargain.

Why wouldn’t you want to reward someone for their work?

Or should artists work for free?

If you choose to be an artist and choose to expect people to pay for your work then go ahead, however the corrupt music industry wants to profiteer as well and artists do not get paid enough as most of their earning go to others.

Hilarious take. Tell me how “owning” the music makes a damn bit of difference?

Contract law dictates that purchasing a product transfers ownership to the purchaser however the music industry wants you to pay them when apparently the music is not owned by the purchaser. This is unlawful.

Apple Music is a streaming app. You listen to songs by streaming. You don’t listen by purchasing. Those are 2 different things. All ads of Apple Music (including Spotify’s) says Stream & not buy. You are as streamer not a purchaser. You want to listen to a song and own it, go to the d*mn iTunes store and buy that d*mn song instead.

I tried all music services Spotify, YT Music and I always keep coming back to Apple Music because they have the most songs. The other services have glaring holes in there library.

I actually find the opposite to be true. I'm currently trialing Deezer, and it has a lot of content not available on Apple Music. I want to subscribe to AM for the convenience/integration, but the glaring holes in its library are putting me off.
