Stream vs Purchase

[nynj nights Pronounsshe/her]

Do you still purchase music (either digitally, cd’s or vinyls)? Or do you listen solely through streaming apps these days? If so, which ones?

I buy vinyl but other than that I just use spotify for everything

I stream music, but i buy gaga cds whenever i can. if gaga has a new single out, i usually try and buy 2-5 copies on iTunes to help it's first week sales

[nynj nights Pronounsshe/her]

I used to buy cds and mostly digital downloads. I will still buy Gaga albums from iTunes but now I find myself using streaming more and more. I’ve liked YouTube Music so far but haven’t started to pay for premium/no ads. I’m considering it though...

[Purple_Aisu PronounsHe/him]

Me, I buy an album when it really interests me, otherwise I listen on Spotify or YouTube. 

[Dirkje PronounsShe/her/hers]

Both! As a CD collector I love buying them lol. 
 

But I have a large playlist of songs by all my faves together. I put it on shuffle and I’ll enjoy! :)

I purchase physical albums (almost always vinyl) of music I like/am excited for, but I stream due to convenience.

Obviously can’t bring a record player with me everywhere lol and I don’t have a computer anymore. Limited storage on my phone means I can’t download all my music.

Why not both?

I'm trying to get back into collecting vinyls but I do stream most of the time. 

[NotDoctor PronounsHe/they]

For ease of use, I stream stuff mostly but if an album is important to me I'll buy it on vinyl as well.  I'm pretty anti-physical media though so I have to really like it 

[JJ Monster]

I do all of them, I buy cds, Vinyls and I stream.

[HeavyMetalLover]

I have an addiction to buying vinyl. No regrets. I still stream music daily as well. Mostly to find new artists or just to have something on for ambiance.

Stream but I honestly hate the idea of middle men & I miss pirating everything my heart desired 😈

[Blown Away]

I'd rather buy my music, but I like to stream songs first to hear if I like them.

[Elvira]

Stream, I only buy physical albums from artist that I stan.  I used to buy physical and digital to support them, but it's been years since the last time I bought a digital album, so yea

[EnigmaticAndroid PronounsFat/Fatty]

I listen to my music almost solely through Spotify but I do enjoy collecting vinyls and throw them on from time to time

[Kattys Pronounsshe / her]

I have vinyls of my very essential best-albums, but it's a small collection, I just started.

I have CDs for my essential albums but also other albums that I really like or appreciate the artist. I use CDs in my car and as a collection (for example I have separate Chromatica CD just for car ).

But daily, when I'm on computer or tablet I stream music on spotify.
