Call Me Old-Fashioned…

…but I’ve never quite understood the attraction of online music subscription services over simply buying a CD.

 

Yes, OK, one doesn’t get the instant gratification of downloading. Then again, one doesn’t have the fact that if one stops paying 9.99 per month (or whatever the charge is), then one’s whole music library simply vanishes into the ether.

 

Music downloaded to your hard drive won’t play anymore once you stop paying the supplier.

 

That’s not a value proposition. That’s blackmail.
