    This, the only monthly subscription I have is internet plan from my cellular provider (15GB for $5 at 10mbps). Zero regrets

    Any cheaper showoffs are welcomed :)

    PS: I don’t get why people subscribe to music services. I mean, you could just download your favorites and listen locally…

      Sure, I could, and would like to own my copies. It’s just that would be a lot of work and money with the experience ultimately being worse.

        They trick you to think it is (by screaming features at you that you soldemly need), but IMHO, it’s not. I only have a couple of songs that I like, and shazam new songs that I will hear along the way.

        I honestly think that shazam is the only proper feature that I just might pay subscription for. It’s brilliant. It just works, every time!

          I have a service that extracts my playback data.
          I’m fairly confident I would not just discover 6700 different artists by word of mouth, searching, or shazam combined. It would take a lifetime.
          Shazam identifies music that’s playing- where is it playing from in the first place?

          We seem to have different use cases.
