I'm quite dumbfounded how well Spotify does in reality. Actually, I'm amazed that ANY "pay-for online music services" do well at all considering how easy it is to download (whether it be legit or illegit) mp3s and mostly considering how everyone I know has or "claims" to have extensive mp3 collections.

Perhaps I'm bias 'cause I subscribe to XM and that satisfies my random music playback like a Spotify does. But then why would anyone pay for XM and Spotify??


I am truly amazed at how many people use these. I welcome feedback for clarification of my thought process here. :)

I not crazy about any kind of radio, including internet radio.
Maybe 'cos I download mp4's (make a collection of 19 clips on a DVD) & extract the ac3 from the DVD I precariously made & transfer as a Flac onto a CD.

Call me an old fashion for still using physical formats including BR's for the
1080+ mp4's.
