Streaming vs Owning Music
Consider the math:
- Spotify: Access to 100+ million songs for $11.99/month
- iTunes/Amazon: $0.99-$1.29 per song to own forever
- Vinyl: $25-40 per album (12-15 songs)
If you listen to more than ~100 unique songs per year, streaming is likely more cost-effective. But you never truly own the music!
Spotify FAQ
Is Spotify Premium worth it?
If you listen to music daily, Premium removes ads, allows offline downloads, and provides higher audio quality (320kbps vs 160kbps).
What happens if I cancel?
You lose access to all downloaded songs and revert to the free tier with ads. Unlike buying music, you don't keep anything.
