Apple Music or Spotify

[BYH 2: Electric Boogaloo]

This makes me sad. The death of the album makes me sad. I still love a curated, thoughtful collection of songs by one artist that put together make a much bigger statement than just one song by itself.

Perfectly said. If I'm going to listen to music on a portable device, I'm going to listen to an entire album. Otherwise, I have the car radio.

I have a 110-song playlist and am not going to want to skip over one song. I can't say that about an album, and I can't say that about radio.

Although I can understand the love for albums. I loved them too, once.

The only reason I might change the station on my car radio is if static overpowers the music.

Or if Willie Nelson comes on. His voice sucks.

I pay for Spotify premium and I contend it's the best $9.99 I spend every month.

I listen to A LOT of music at work. Throw my earbuds in and either pick playlists or full albums. I tend toward playlists or radio on long car trips if I'm driving just so I don't have to fiddle with the phone. Another cool thing with Spotify ... if you play a full album, once it's over, it starts playing album radio from that album. Pretty cool.

We have had Spotify for a while and did the free trial on Apple Music. Much prefer Spotify. Mainly use it thru our Sonos system and jsut found we liked the interface and options better.

Well, that is a more optimistic perspective than imagining some producer grumbling, "Hey, we need five more songs to fill this thing out. Get on it, will ya?"

Hey, I still have this childlike view of music and how it's made. I don't try to pop that bubble, either. Every great concert and every album is still magic to me. I'm trying to keep it that way.

My other love in life — newspapers — has been tarnished forever by seeing how the sausage is made. Give me this.

My wife and I have been avid Apple Music users since it began and we have no complaints.
