They had that "three months of serve for 99 cents" sale which was perfect timing tbh When I graduate I'm gonna be depressed that I'll have to pay the full price for Spotify and Amazon Prime Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sailor 3,321 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 I would be in hell if I had to relay on streaming services for my music. Unless it's Gaga, you can't find any good stuff. bannedT for life and it's SAD Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoiler Definitely not just saying that 'cause that'd put Gaga way higher up on the charts than she is now or anything I've been up for like three days straight, I hope I'm making sense 🖤 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
codymonster 7,937 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 I pay for Apple Music every month, and also buy the albums of artists I like. I really believe it’s important to support the artist. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haroon 49,685 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 I just buy albums from iTunes and illegally download singles most of the time I also watch some stuff on YouTube but that’s only for some cool music videos now and then but not often at all I’ve been considering Apple Music lately, can someone tell me if it’s worth it and what I’d be gaining with it and what I’d be losing please?

The Child 18,994 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 No I don’t use steaming services. It’s kinda odd but I pay for Netflix which is for streaming movies & tv series but I don’t pay to listen to music. Isn’t that weird? ‘If religion be the cause of disunity, then irreligion is surely to be preferred.’ ‘Abdu’l-Bahá Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why youtube is factored in and so are free streams: even if people aren't paying, they're listening and the song is popular Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well me I'm using Apple Music because Spotify doesn't offer the student discount in Quebec its just way more convenient. with Apple Music also your iTunes purchases are there with your streaming music which isn't the case with Spotify ! Spotify is like better for playlists and stuff but I dont very listen to pre made playlists anyway ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JevyDuty 2,961 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 I pay for Spotify. I hope Joanne benefits from this change on the BB200. She still has to beat Born This Way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
