The question then as always is how to find out about new artists? That's why I still use the free version of Pandora, and listen to the local college radio stations, etc.

I refuse to subscribe to any sites that pay artists poorly. OK, I refuse to subscribe to much of anything at all. I don't even get digital TV, hate FB, abhor Google, etc. But try to look up info on me - it isn't there...

That's great for you and the artists but most times I don't want to buy it, I just want to listen to it a few times in a year, that's why I subscribed to Spotify. It's like loaning CDs from the local (public) library and libraries don't pay the artists more, either.

For example, the album "Rebels" by Madonna, I just want to listen to it once or twice, so that I can talk with other people how good or bad it is, I don't want to have it in my CD collection forever...

I get the impression that someone wants to sway opinion here...

if you star enough threads on the same subject eventually it becomes a fact!

It works in office politics, so why not the whole Internet and the music industry?

Taylor Swift is skinny. Carnage - now that's a heavyweight artist.

The "Wildecker Herzbuben" are heavyweight artists, and you can still listen to them on Spotify! Und schuld war doch nur der Wein!

Om my frikkin god...is this guy still going at this dumbass topic? He won't listen to anyone's counter arguement. He's either trolling or just trying to get an echo chamber of equally agreeing opinions. I'm actually at the point to say this user is far more annoying than MattMVS7 and his lengthy, rambly, trainwreck of topics.
