Is anyone NOT steaming their Music?

Is anyone NOT steaming their Music? - Lemmy.zip

What’s the deal? Are people just going to continue to pay a never-ending rising cost of streaming? Surely this model can’t keep up, and I highly doubt people are listening to essentially the diverse catalog of music for that price. I’m willing to bet most people listen to the equivalent of a couple CDs in a month. Are you guys just gonna keep paying for YouTube music as the price tops to $30 a month? Seems like every week these clowns are raising their prices.

My music taste is pretty narrow and my music library is small (<800 songs). Buy my music on Band camp, then stream from Jellyfin. I wouldn’t ever pay for streaming. If I want to go through new music then I use a more targeted online radio (Jango is free and good).

It surprises me that people want to stream such a large amount. Do people just listen to random tunes? Happy to listen to anything?

There is a lot of great music that I've never heard. (there is even more bad "music") Once in a while I want to hear something different, and streaming does that for me. Not well, but I have a hard time finding something better.
